I've completely neglected the PR blog. Not that I was ever any good at regularly blogging in the first place. Although, as ridiculous as this sounds, Twitter vindicates me - I've been tweeting, retweeting, favouriting, mentioning, etc, to my heart's content. The proof is in the pudding @PrincessRecycle. However, there is only so much information you can share in 140 characters, so consider this my first of many blog posts.<br />

<br />
Source Expo, organised by the Ethical Fashion Forum (EFF), is the only mainstream trade show dedicated to ethical sourcing. Entering its third season, the Expo guarantees to bring together more international manufacturers, suppliers and co-operatives working to high ethical standards than ever before. The event will include a programme of seminars, introducing new products and exemplary supply and production systems, a Designer Pavilion showcasing some of the most inspirational design led fashion from around the world and a trends area. <br />
<br />
Since its launch in 2009, the Expo has almost tripled in size and visitor numbers (last year's event attracted nearly 800 visitors from across the fashion and retail industries). This year is expected to break all records in terms of number of visitors and exhibitors.<br />
<br />
Look out for further details soon on the EFF website <span style="color: #0e774a;"><a href="http://www.ethicalfashionforum.com/">http://www.ethicalfashionforum.com/</a></span>.<br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Designed by Nicola Woods from London’s Notting Hill, Beautiful Soul has won numerous awards, including the Ethical Fashion Forum’s Innovation Award, and fans include Samantha Cameron, Laura Bailey, Lily Cole, Sophie Anderton, Kate Nash and singer/songwriter, Gabby Young (to name but a few) who provided the soundtrack for the Beautiful Soul’s first film (see </span><a href="http://vimeo.com/14939321"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">http://vimeo.com/14939321</span></a><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">).</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: black;">Read more about the latest collection below:<br />
<br />
The new Autumn/Winter 2011 collection, entitled <em>Painting by Numbers</em>,</span> takes us on a journey through an English country garden, exploring the eternal appeal of English tradition - an escape from the pace of London, if only for a while. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This season is all about colour and the hues are fresh and bright - a refreshing twist to Autumn/Winter 2011. A blank silk canvas is the starting point, pulling from memory and reminiscing, filling in shapes with colour: swallows, English roses, bluebells, butterflies, dragonflies, and ladybirds breathe a breath of fresh air into the season. British wool also features in the range, trimmed with carved and engraved buttons. </span><br />
