www.images-magazine.com OCTOBER 2019 images 31 INDUSTRY EVENT 1 With more than 50 exhibitors this year, there’s plenty to see at The Schoolwear Show, including several new brands and lots of new styles. Sustainability is one of the biggest trends in schoolwear, and Banner [1] will be showing its new Eco Tartan pleated skirt, which is made from 100% eco fabric. It’s available in three colour combinations – mixed multi, grey tonal and navy tonal – and coordinates perfectly with the three new colours offered in the brand’s Signature Jackets: bottle, maroon and royal. The best- selling Champion T is now available in 14 colours, including a new addition, classic navy; and a new primary house colour, emerald/white, has also been added to the Junior Training Tee in the Aptus Essentials entry level sportswear range. This is now available in six primary house colours, from ages 3/4 up to a 32” chest size. www.banner.co.uk David Luke [2] has led the way in sustainable schoolwear, and this year marks the 10th anniversary of its Eco- uniform range. To date, it has saved 27 million plastic bottles from reaching landfill, and has extended the range to include trousers, skirts and jumpers, as well as the original blazer. This year’s newest offerings are the Eco senior trousers, senior straight skirt and senior stitched down knife pleat skirt. When paired with the existing jacket, this means that schools can now offer affordable, 2 and sustainable, eco suits. The three new products use polyester made from non-biodegradable plastic bottles, and are available in dark marl grey, with more colours to follow next year.
