UK AWARE is the UK’s only public facing green lifestyle show with a proven track record.

Danny Carnegie, Founder of UK AWARE said ‘We’ve got an interactive, mainstream show which is going to blow the socks off the UK consumers. Expect lively debate, amazing exhibitors and an opportunity to experience the future of consumerism for the benefit of this planet.’

DaisyGreenMagazine.co.uk and Lupe Castro, Ethical Stylist have joined the esteemed list of exhibitors and plan to host the biggest swapping event London has seen. Lupe explains more,

There will be four clothes and accessory swaps throughout the two days at Olympia. You can drop off your clothes at any time when in the exhibition, and then attend the count down to the swap. These will begin at 12.00 and 3.30 on both days. We will have a man’s section as well, so guys bring all your clothes! Any left over garments will be sold to raise funds for TRAID.

News just in: Lupe will be styling models from the swap it clothes on Friday! Thanks to Aveda makeup artist Joanne Quach who has agreed to come and style the girls with Lupe.
