Happy Earth Day!

To celebrate Earth Day's 50th anniversary, FEMAIL rounds up some of the chicest sustainable brands with help from Net-a-Porter's Global Buying Director Elizabeth von der Goltz, and Shopbop’s Fashion Director, Caroline Maguire.

'I love new brand Aaizel’s design concept of creating sustainable wardrobe classics that can be worn forever in multiple ways, they re-used dead stock to create functional designs,' said Elizabeth.

'Bite Studios creates the most amazing trench coats, jackets and knits which are perfect for layering up. The label uses Peace silk which is created with silk worms but they are not harmed in the process, meaning they can finish their work and pass peacefully.

'This obviously takes more time, but allows the silkworms to live out their lives in a natural way and the results are just as beautiful. I love Bite Studios Hemp and silk-blend straight-leg pants which were created using Peace silk.

Elizabeth credits her Goldsign denim and leather pants as her wardrobe heroes.

When it comes to shoes and accessories, Elizabeth believes Veja and Stella McCartney are experts in the sustainability field, with Stella being one of the original sustainability pioneers who has always championed Animal Welfare within her business and collections.

'For jewelry it is exciting to have established brands such as Chopard and Foundrae within the platform, as well as the likes of Laura Lombardi and Catbird.

'We are super impressed with brands like Matteu which feature four of our sustainability attributes – including Locally Made and Reducing waste.

'Maggie Marilyn is another brand that champions the Locally Made attribute with products produced in New Zealand.'

In the beauty market, Elizabeth is a fan of Dr Barbara Sturm. 'I am thrilled she is now part of NET SUSTAIN beauty – and I particularly love her anti-pollution drops, in addition for beauty I love Tata Harper.'
