CLOTHES LINES:Recyling fabric has become a mainstream trend these days with the latest newcomer being Warehouse, which is reworking silk and denim and launching a spring collection made from organic cotton and linen.

Warehouse recycles the silk by removing the colour and respinning in grey and black to make items such as jumpsuits and harem pants, currently on sale in selected outlets. The complete organic range, featuring dresses (left), military jackets, oversize vests and peg leg crop trousers in blue, cream and grey, goes into stores and online at www.warehouse.co.uk from early February. The recycled denim arrives in spring.
