Zip Is Hip, Again! Babes in Biker Jackets Go Organic

Nov. 30, 2009 / by Amy DuFault / 0 Comments

Organic John Patrick Everywhere you look you see them, even on the non-hog riding gang. Call them rebels with a cause – a need to look trendy while making a statement about planet-friendly fibers. Biker jackets! The fashion trend comes full circle once again. Think back to Marlon Brando in his 1953 cult flick, The […]

Getting Inspired By Lucky Magazine’s Andrea Linett

Nov. 26, 2009 / by Amy DuFault / 0 Comments

Lucky magazine’s Creative Director Andrea Linett Ever flip through Lucky magazine to the end and see the Fashion Babble page with the caricature of Andrea Linett? Here’s an actual photo of her. Her vibe has always screamed sexy to me, as if she were the poster girl for how to be really organic and feminine, […]

TRAID to Fight Global Poverty

Nov. 23, 2009 / by Amy DuFault / 0 Comments

There’s a lot to learn from the cool UK example of raising funds to share the wealth. Take Oxfam, for instance, and their ethical and secondhand shops whose funds raise money for relief efforts around the globe. They do great work and offer us one-of-a-kind clothes and jewelry to die for. Another group, most commonly […]

Track My T Please

Nov. 20, 2009 / by Amy DuFault / 0 Comments

Anvil CSR The t-shirt. How many are crammed in your drawers? You may not think of this everyday fashion staple as making a big eco dent, but if you trace the tee you’ll quickly see how it can work as an effective instrument for change. Anvil Knitwear, sponsor of Track My T, is a new […]

Danger: Cutout Dresses Walking This Way

Nov. 16, 2009 / by Amy DuFault / 0 Comments

Poppomomo Hells bells. Stop eating that Halloween candy, girl! Like an epiphany, it dawned on me today that spring is just five months away, and I chucked my Heath Bar into the compost. True, we’re scarcely into winter, but the spring fashion alert is already on: Cutouts are everywhere and will be forcing us to […]

Walking the Talk: Adventures in Launching My Eco Boutique

Nov. 12, 2009 / by Amy DuFault / 0 Comments

At the Shift launch party Friday, November 6th For all the eco there is, it still isn’t easy being green. I say that knowing this will change, but I needed only to open my own sustainable boutique to discover, “Houston, we have problems.” My background is such that I write, market, sell and do coaching […]

Love Heals in More Ways Than One

Nov. 10, 2009 / by Amy DuFault / 0 Comments

Love Heals “Freedom Deliverance” In a perfect world, every piece of our jewelry collections would help plant trees or save an at-risk child from blindness or slavery. Sound far-fetched? Not if it’s Love Heals jewelry. Based out of Ojai, California, the jewelry itself (necklaces, cuffs, bracelets, earrings) is gorgeously crafted  on an organic farm in […]

When Paper and Couture Meet

Nov. 06, 2009 / by Amy DuFault / 0 Comments

When the sustainable design movement first started, rolled paper jewelry and gum wrapper bags were plentiful. You have to start somewhere, right? Turn the clock forward to this collection of paper jewelry, created as a collaboration between KEZA and Rhode Island School of Design (RISD) students Jenny Lai and Lindsay Perkins. The RISD designers participated […]

Meet Rosel Designer, Juliane Camposano

Nov. 04, 2009 / by Amy DuFault / 0 Comments

Designer Juliane Camposano in a Rosel shrug Sustainably-designed knitwear isn’t something new, but really fashion-forward knits are. Rosel designer Juliane Camposano is one of those trendsetting knitwear lines to watch. Camposano grew up in Northern Germany, on the North Sea, where knits were commonplace garb. She says an additional influence to create came from her […]

When Tags Matter

Nov. 02, 2009 / by Amy DuFault / 0 Comments

Levi Strauss is just one of many denim lines clothing the majority of the planet so it was great to hear that they’ve wrapped their brains around their  denim’s lifecycle. Lucky 3P writer Jen Boynton says of her recent dinner with Levi’s and a gaggle of writers: “The Levi Strauss folks came across as down […]
