Sustainable Style Makeover: Tribal Watercolor

Comments 1 Comment

by Greta Eagan · 04/21/10

We’ve got the gossip on a hot new trend for steamy nights! Tribal Watercolor is the newest print that is both electric and classic. Jessica Szohr stepped into the future when she paired a computerized print silk dress with an open-toe bootie heel.

Designer Julia Smith MIA (made in Africa) is no stranger to tribal prints and her new line for S/S 10 delivers the goods. The Luna Splash Dress is made from organic cotton in Ghana under a Fairtrade project. Complete the look with Yellow Heeled Vegan Shoe Boots from Olsenhaus.

Now that you are tribally inspired, check out more sustainable style makeovers on Fashion Me Green.

The Ethical Fashion Show in Paris was in full swing this October 13-16. Press crawled through the rooms (above) searching for the lastest in cool ethical wear. Over 60 designers from 20+ countries participated, each having their own flavor of design.

Deborah Milner, sponsored by AVEDA, showed 4 out of 10 pieces that she was contracted to design using fair trade and organic materials from the areas where AVEDA sources for their products.

London’s trendy TOPSHOP store will be showcasing this design – a collaboration between Global Mamas in Ghana and a UK-based designer. This was made possible through the work of the Ethical Fashion Forum and Tabeisa.

Judith Condor-Vidal was all smiles when I tried on some of the alpaca products from her Peruvian artisans. If that wasn’t enough, she was the dual-winner of La Redoute’s Fashion award. Her pieces will be appearing in their Autumn/Winter 2007-2008 catalog

More Green Issues Than You Can Shake a Stick At

Comments 2 Comments

by Starre Vartan · 09/19/06

After the double-header of the green Elle and Vanity Fair issues, a plethora of mags have shown some planet-consciousness. I’ve been collecting these for the past 2 months or so; all sorts of mags covering green topics from various angles. Here they are, in no particular order:

Innovative

Innovative Home, Fall 2006: Cover story “How ‘Green’ Design is Impacting Residential Spaces”

Business Week’s Small Biz, Summer 2006: Cover story “Do You Need to Be Green?”

Futurist

The Futurist, July-August 2006: Cover story “A Plan to Save Our Troubled Planet”

Photo (French), June 2006: Cover story special “A Planet in Danger- The State of Our Place, the Beauty and the Degradation; Earth, Water, Forests, Pollution, Animals, Renewable Energy, Climate Change” (forgive my translation skills)

Garden Design, June-July 2006: Cover story “Best Green Design: The Natural Look + Meadows, Roofs, Pools, Natives, Bionic Plants, More Earth-Friendly Ideas”

The New Republic’s September 4, 2006 issue: Cover story “Apocalypse Now- A Scientist’s Plea for Christian Environmentalism” by E.O. Wilson (a must-read!)
