So the whirlwind of design week has now dissipated. It was great to see even more of “green presence” this year around during all of the NYC design week trade shows and parties. So after my little deliberation, I created a list of the top of products that embodied quality form, function, and green thinking. Please check out each company’s website for further information of their environmental mission and innovations from materials selection to packaging techniques.

Dear nature girl
I am a BA (Hons) Fashion Studies Student at the University of Lincoln.
I am due to start my third and final year and I am required to produce a collection of 6 unique garments. I am going to produce the collection for spring summer and I am considering designing evening wear with the topic theme called nature girl.
I am now fabric sourcing, and looking for suppliers that I can make my garments from.
My theme is all about nature and being natural. My fabrics will be neutral colours and I am hoping to make my garments from naural fabrics. I found your beuaty product site due to the related name. I was wondering if you could help me by providing me with any natural images you have from promotin your products, and photos of pictures/leaflets that show the “nature girl” look wither of products, models, mood pictures of anything realted to this theme that you could send me.
My home address is below. Anything you can send me at all woud be hugely appreciated and it will be of great use towards my research!
Thanks for your time and help and I look forward to hearing from you soon!
Many thanks
Eve
