5. House of Sunny

East London-based House of Sunny releases just two seasonal collections a year, bucking the trend for constant newness and endless drops. Materials are recycled and denim is washed using e-flow technology reducing the amount of water used and wasted. Repeat prints are used across jeans and shirts to limit waste material (placed prints create a lot of excess fabric)- also ensuring that each piece is slightly different and unique.
