Fashion comes in many forms, and one of the best places to spot up and coming independent designers is at Nolcha Fashion Week. This year, Nolcha dedicated a day to having an Ethical Presentation where a dozen ethical designers showcased their brilliant collections and shared some of their passionate back stories on how their product came to be.

Check out EcoSalon’s exclusive video to meet some of these designers and learn about their Earth changing lines.
