Flash fashion show literally stops traffic in central London
New eco-friendly fashion label Wear Chemistry caused a scene in central London this morning with an impromptu catwalk show on a zebra crossing during rush hour.
The brand used the event to release their latest selection of vibrant mens and womenswear made with sustainable bamboo cotton. The collection was paraded up and down pedestrian crossings outside trendy Carnaby Street and fashion-mecca Oxford Circus, stopping traffic in its tracks to give a further green edge to the launch.

Quotations
Trish Richards, co-founder of Wear Chemistry commented:
“We wanted to do something that would prove fashion still has the capacity to stop people in their tracks – even in the ever moving city of London. By showing eco-friendly commuting can dominate even the aggressive London traffic, the whole event proves that having a conscience about what you do doesn’t mean you need to forsake style and confidence.”
