Katharine Hamnett: glam to be green


The fashion world has finally caught up with globally-anxious clothes designer Katharine Hamnett. 20 years after Hamnett first stormed into Number 10 to meet Mrs Thatcher wearing a T-shirt blazoned with the words '58% don't want Pershing' (missiles), Hamnett is suddenly hot hot hot-to-trot and fashionista simply can't get enough of her.
Her new clothing range - available in Tesco supermarkets across the UK and online at www.katharinehamnett.com - is made of organic cotton and is guaranteed not to harm the planet (or, in fact, the purse). Green before greed, sweetie darlings!

A Slice of Organic Life


Recently dubbed the poster girl for the green revolution, Sheherazade Goldsmith (wife of environmental activist and editor of The Ecologist Zac) is surely Britain's most glamorous green goddess. But, because being glamorous and green isn't enough to save the planet alone, the Chelsea society girl has written a book about it (being green that is). Full of simple tips to make becoming an eco-warrior as easy as... well, something very easy, A Slice of Organic Life is a veritable manual for 'right' living. Published by Dorling Kindersley, price £16.99.

The Organic Pharmacy


If it's good enough for pop princess Kylie Minogue it must be good. “One of my favourite ranges is The Organic Pharmacy" she says, explaining: "I’m using one of their cleansers at the moment.” Certified by the Soil Association – who make sure all products are organic – and founded by a qualified pharmacist who really knows her toxins, The Organic Pharmacy is the real deal. It's also the first and only pharmacy in the world dedicated to health and beauty using organic products and treatments. Yummy mummies take note: Gwyneth Paltrow and Sarah Jessica Parker love the Pharmacy's Baby and Mother & Baby ranges. And, if baby soft skin floats your boat, be sure to buy Cleopatra’s Milk Bath, a heavenly mix of organic milk and rose, jasmine and Ylang-Ylang oils that'll have you feeling like an Empress in no time.
