Ecofêtes eco-lux ethical homeware, studio & TV founded by Yasmin Mills.
Ecofêtes founder Yasmin Mills
Eco-event organiser and sustainability advocate Yasmin Mills began her career as a model, then worked in production and presenting lifestyle, fashion TV.
After the birth of her daughters, she wanted to spend less time away from them.
So having always had a passion for entertaining, she spent the following two decades writing columns/blogs about entertaining, for publications such as The Sunday Times & Harpers Bazaar and entertaining guide books such as “How To Party” and “How To Eco Picnic” creating planet friendly picnics. All the while organising events for private and luxury brand clients, including Jade Jagger, Roger Vivier, Land Rover Jaguar, Maserati, Kelly Hoppen, Sadie Frost, Noel Fielding, Pam Hogg and Jo Wood organics.
Launching Ecofêtes with sustainability at it’s core.
Yasmin became frustrated by the amount of single use plastic, food and even flowers that were thrown away and wasted after events. Also as a vegetarian, she became increasingly uncomfortable working with un-environmentally friendly meat based menus. So looking for more sustainable ways forward, she founded her sustainable lifestyle brand Ecofêtes that aims to send positive green messages via eco retail, events and content.
‘Shades Of Green’ podcast
Yasmin’s latest project is a podcast ‘Shades Of Green’. In the podcast she will be catching up with a range of high profile guests and discussing all things green, as she continues her mission to find realistic ways that we can all do our bit to be kinder to the planet and people on it.
