As a friend of mine put it: "nominations come and go but a star on the Hollywood pavement, well that's forever". Outside the Pig and Whistle pub on Hollywood Boulevard (for movie trivia fans - that's the English pub that played host to Judy Garland's 15th birthday and the first ever Oscars after party), you will now find Colin's star.

It was a magical day, actually, and I felt very emotional. In fact, it's difficult to sum it up but, as ever, I can tell you which sustainable threads I wore!

Stewart & Brown - a longstanding ethical fashion favourite. Not only do I live in this label's Tshirts but they are bestsellers at www.eco-age.com. They are a brand that defines the new sustainable aesthetic for me and I chose very simple black trousers, a top and a jacket from the Stewart & Brown spring/summer 2011 collection.
Simple was a big theme today, because who wants to compete with a real Hollywood star?! These pieces are entirely organic cotton (but as always with S&B it goes deeper than that).
Shoes (I love those shoes!) and bag were by Riccardo Rizieri, an Italian designer who, after collaborating with Marni, took on his own personal creative project. This has been based on the unique qualities of handmade products.
Handmade is a big part of the ethical fashion jigsaw as far as I'm concerned. These are produced in vegetable treated and dyed leather, backed by responsible research and creative practices. The platforms today were so beautiful and comfortable that I confidently predict they'll be making many summer appearances in my wardrobe.
