The Fairtrade Foundation has teamed up with the Ethical Fashion Forum to launch its major sustainable design competition, INNOVATION.

The competition will feature a Fairtrade cotton award, sponsored by Tescos and judged by a panel of leading fashion industry representatives including Laura Bailey. It is set to recognise designers and brands which are either already working with Fairtrade certified cotton or are looking to use Fairtrade cotton in their collections going forward.

The winner of the award will be offered advice and assistance from Clothing at Tesco's UK F&F team to develop a capsule collection made from Fairtrade cotton. Selected pieces from the range will then be sold through Tesco's new online fashion store, www.tesco.com/clothing
