Inhabitat showcases bibico at the London Design Festival

Writer, photographer and champion of sustainable design Antonia Halse got glammed up in bibico when she explored the London Design Festival. Look here for her pick of the most dazzling designs on show this year.

Here she is sitting on one of the Argentinian pallet chairs decked out in bibico's stripped boat-necked sailor jersey tunic.

And in front of 'Wasted' an installation made from reclaimed materials that was designed for the entrance to the V&A. Designed by architect Ian Douglas-Jones and designer Ben Rousseau.


Antonia also wears the very fabulous Red Lady Dragon Peeptoe Bow Shoes. These veritable gems were made by Vivienne Westwood Anglomania, in collaboration with Melissa Shoes.

Besides being 100% recyclable, Melissa shoes are made from MEFLEX, a revolutionary breathable and non-toxic plastic and are totally cruelty free and devoid of animal products. Plus, a startling 99.9% of Melissa’s factory water and waste is recycled and the Brazil-based company’s employees are paid above average wages and benefits. These are so on my Xmas wish list.
