Punk Glamour Is Green at ROMP Collections
UK-based clothing line ROMP has unleashed its bohemian-exotic flavor into the world of green fashion. Stylistically a hybrid of rock, glam and neo-art-nouveau, ROMP is pioneering a "punk-sophisticate" genre with its sexy, edgy high-fashion inventory.
ROMP adds a feature to their website that will likely become an inspiration for other green fashion houses: the function of "traceability". Traceability is the process of tracing the origins of all of the raw materials involved. That the materials are traceable invites the consumer to make a decision based not only on the final product but the production practices, as well.
ROMP is the world’s first Soil Association Certified Fashion House (analogous to the U.S. organic certification) – a testament to their elimination of toxic dyes, chemicals and metals at all levels of production.

If this is not the new way of being a new start of fashion, then I do not what is wrong with the world. To look like the movie stars or be relaxed as Brigite Bardot in her better times…I am really surprised, that fashion guys do something in this way. I have checked their web site – it is just fab. (www.romp.uk.com). I shared the link with my friends, are we all want to find out more! I found out that their factory is based in Europe and that they are having a full complex from the raw skins to finished garments. I wish Romp all the best on its way and am grateful that fashion is strting using some brains, not only taste and freaking designers, or a superstars who I doubt can even draw a T-shirt
), but are promoted as God knows what kind of talent (makes my stomak sick). Where can i buy something? Is the shop only in the US and in Slovenia or also else where? Is there only one designer or more? Tell us more….I have not seen something like this before. What is with traceability? Can you really trace the grament back to the animal?!??How do you do this??
Best regards
