Top 15 Eco-Fashion Books We Love

Aug. 30, 2010 / by Amy DuFault / 0 Comments

There are many levels of eco-fashion at this point in the game. So many people are trying to make us understand why we should support it, what we shouldn’t buy and what we should.

Stylish Steals: First You Start with Lederhosen

Aug. 27, 2010 / by Amy DuFault / 0 Comments

It’s true. Sometimes everything starts with a pair of lederhosen, especially with this outfit. By ‘lederhosen’ we’re not referring to Bavarian leather pants, of course, but a particular style of trousers in a variety of fabrics. No beer stein and braces required!

Aug. 23, 2010 / by Amy DuFault / 0 Comments

We recently had Peter Ingwersen, founder of Noir on record, saying, “Technology will save us all. I think that man-made fibers are truly amazing and will be the new hot thing in eco-materials.

Aug. 16, 2010 / by Amy DuFault / 0 Comments

In an overly consumptive American society, it shouldn’t be that hard to figure out why we’re so far behind other countries when it comes to zero waste. We consume so much, that we never take inventory of what we already have. So it should be no surprise that according to a recent New York Times […]

Are You Scared to Wear Silk?

Aug. 13, 2010 / by Amy DuFault / 0 Comments

I love silk. I love fibers. I love mixing fibers. Thankfully silk is just one of many fibers I like to wear to add depth to outfits – or when I just want to feel effortlessly sexy and put together. Since I own an eco-boutique I get lots of women who thumb past the silk […]

Aug. 02, 2010 / by Amy DuFault / 0 Comments

When Rapanui founders Rob & Mart Drake-Knight launched their clothing line in the U.K, they knew consumers were keen to eco-brand’s greenwashing and that they’d have their work cut out for them when it came to showing credibility.
