Lady Victoria Starmer made a fashion statement at the Labour Party Conference by promoting sustainability through her outfit choice. She wore an oversized T-shirt with a bright blue logo paired with wide-leg navy trousers from the independent slow fashion brand, BY ELLEVEN. The NHS occupational health worker showcased her casual ensemble while chatting with fellow guests before her husband, Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer, delivered his keynote speech.
The English-based fashion label, BY ELLEVEN, focuses on using organic cotton and producing all their clothing in the UK. Co-founders Rachel Goddard and Joanne Watkinson expressed their excitement at Lady Starmer choosing to wear their brand, highlighting the importance of supporting British fashion and slow fashion brands.
This is not the first time Lady Starmer has used her fashion choices to champion British design and sustainability. Her previous fashion choices, including a dress made in Britain that drove traffic to the brand’s website and wearing a polka dot ensemble at London Fashion Week from a designer known for using fabrics that resist wrinkling, demonstrate her commitment to environmentally responsible fashion.
Lady Victoria Starmer’s consistent emphasis on sustainability, fair labor practices, and minimal waste production through her fashion choices exemplifies how style and environmental responsibility can go hand in hand. Her support for independent slow fashion brands like BY ELLEVEN showcases the importance of promoting sustainable and ethical fashion practices in the industry. By making conscious choices in her wardrobe, Lady Starmer sets an example for others to follow in supporting sustainable fashion brands and practices.
