There’s an overview of the ecofashion revolution featuring interviews with some of my favorite designers like Carol Young and Bahar Shaphar, and ecofashion blogger and designer Jill Danyelle. There’s a sidebar on creative recycling of odd stuff into accessories, and an in-depth look at the lives of the people who grow cotton outside the US, and what they stand to gain (and lose) by growing the stuff.
