By Dan Estabrook - August 8, 2008 (TNN) If you think you have what it takes to dress with ethical style, you could win a day with a stylist at this year's London's fashion week.  The BBC Style Search Competition is seeking people with cool and swanky style using second-hand, recycled, fair trade, and/or sustainable clothing. From BBC:

StyleSearch is a competition to establish the UK’s most ethical dressers.

We want you to send in a digital photo of you or a friend modelling an outfit using vintage, customised, second hand, fair trade or organic clothes and accessories.

Judges will whittle down four finalists who will attend London Fashion Week in September and compete in a task to decide the final winner.

This winner will assist our stylist at the Thread fashion show.

So, think you’re a whizz at putting together an outfit that screams originality and is created with a conscience?

Provided your entry doesn’t break the rules, it will appear on the site.

Our criteria and judges section gives you the lowdown on what we’re looking for and who’ll be deciding the finalists.

You must be over 16 to enter and send in your entry by midday on Tuesday 26th August.

For ideas on how to put your outfit together, go to our Be Inspired page to see our gallery of student stylists and visit our Video page for further tips on creating an original look.

Maybe one of our Tonic tees will help complete your look?  Be sure to act fast - you must enter by Tuesday, August 26! Photos: Entrants from the BBC Style Search (courtesy BBC).
