Sustainable Fashion In London Is Either Saving The Planet Or A Brilliant Marketing Department

Jun 20, 2026 Roper PenberthyComment

How to tell genuine change from a very green-coloured press release Every brand in London is now committed to sustainable fashion, which is remarkable given that the industry remains one of the planet’s most prolific producers of waste, water consumption and quietly incinerated unsold stock. Either a miracle has occurred,…

Roper Penberthy is the editor and principal writer behind Link and Lace, an independent London-based fashion, footwear and style publication. Working from the heart of Carnaby, Roper covers British shoemaking, Chelsea boots, luxury fashion, sustainable-style claims, workplace clothing, wedding dress codes and the peculiar theatre of designer pricing.

His editorial approach combines practical research with cultural commentary and humour. Rather than simply repeating brand publicity, Roper examines how garments are made, marketed, priced, worn and occasionally regretted after an ambitious office Christmas party. He believes useful fashion journalism should help readers understand materials, craftsmanship, care, fit and value while remaining honest about the industry’s talent for placing a French adjective beside an ordinary jumper and doubling the price.

Roper reviews information from manufacturers, retailers, recognised industry sources and firsthand product documentation. He clearly distinguishes editorial opinion, satire, sponsored material and affiliate content wherever applicable.

Readers may contact Roper with corrections, editorial questions, product information or story suggestions at Roper.Penberthy@prat.UK. He is based at 44 Carnaby Street, Carnaby, London W1F 9PS, United Kingdom, and may also be reached by telephone at +44 7745 526879.
