Video: Ciel Gabrielle Dress


Fashion News
Channels: Fashion News Tags: organic, hemp, silk

What better way to review a piece of clothing than to try it on and see for yourself? We wore Ciel's organic hemp silk Gabrielle dress, in black, in our video so that we could tell you what it's really like to wear and accessorise with, and how the fabric feels on the skin.

Click 'play' to hear more about the glamourous ethical fashion house's evening frock -- or, to learn more about Ciel, read our review of Ciel's mint-coloured Cami dress, which is made from the same organic hemp silk material. We've also tried on People Tree's black and white gingham dress and H&M's organic dress.

Firstly its against the law and secondly if african countries made it legal to grow hemp the first world would probably put sanctions on them. The first world doesnt want to see africa become the power house that china has become... from a south africans point of view

Ciel makes some beautiful clothing and has an admirable ethical grounding but I would caution anyone against buying direct from their website as their customer service is extremely poor. If you are seeking their clothes go to Adili.com or Fashion-Conscience.com instead.

Pinnacle Journey 1.0 2008
Cheap and cheerful -- the Journey hits the value bullseye. And doesn't end up a horrible compromise in doing so.
Mezzo d-10
Too costly, particularly compared to its d-9 sibling. But despite that, this is the state-of-the-art for folding bikes -- fast, light, practical.
Puma Glow Rider
The emperor's new bicycle -- all marketing and no trousers. Over-expensive, handles and folds poorly, doesn't glow well enough, and is stealable despite the weird cable-cum-downtube.
Weleda Edelweiss Sun Lotion SPF 15
It's a very good, honest sun lotion and we appreciate that -- we're excited about Weleda as a company, but not overly so about this particular product
LG 32LG5000
Stylish and with good performance, this is a nice TV, especially at just over £400 -- but the high energy use is a turn off
