Despite being launched just three years ago by a designer with no formal fashion training, Minna has garnered widespread recognition for its ability to combine high fashion and a strongly ethical ethos. Known for her whimsical vintage-inspired pieces, designer Minna Hepburn has won plaudits for her unique brand of ultra-wearable, feminine fashion. Minna also introduced a children’s line inspired by her daughter Kristiina, made entirely from leftover and end of roll fabric. The Finnish designer incorporates her environmental ethics into every element of the production of her clothing. ‘We use organic, fairtrade and recycled UK-made fabrics to create our sustainable clothes, which are handmade locally,’ she says. ‘This gives the clothes a longer life so they don’t end up being dumped after their “it-season,”’ she explains.
