H&M’s Organic Cotton Isn’t 100% Organic–It’s Not Sustainable, Either
Several eco-fashion blogs, including the well-done Ecouterre, are concerned that H&M’s organic cotton collection may not be 100% organic. Indeed, H&M has admitted that some of its certified-organic clothes may contain genetically modified strands of the white stuff. So, how big of a deal is this? Well, for those admirably dedicated to wearing only 100% Read more →

Puddle Jumper
This summer has introduced an interesting fashion predicament: Half the day we’re sweltering, the other half we’re dodging sudden downpour. Still if we can’t find a good store to duck in to, or we just have somewhere to be, we wind up sloshing down the street anyway and our new ballet flats are the worse Read more →

“But in an industry that thrives on newness, what will next season’s trend be? A backlash in favour of all things artificial and plastic – a nu-syntheticism? Call us cynical, but right now fashion is at risk of being greenwashed: subject to a superficial treatment that will bleed out in the next cycle of fashion Read more →

First Look: Leroy & Perry Fall 2008
Lutz & Patmos’ smaller, eco-friendly line, Leroy & Perry, is returning for its second season for this Fall – and what kind of friends would we be if we didn’t let you in on the sneak peek? The collection’s small, just like the very first one Tina (Lutz) and Marcia (Patmos) designed for this Spring. Read more →

Green Fashion – Maybe Just Green in Color?
Last week, we raised some hell about big companies making t-shirts that say “recycle” and “earth day” – even though the companies are major polluters, and exactly 0% of their clothing is 100% natural. Someone at the Wall Street Journal must have heard us, because their Sunday fashion story broke down which major fashion companies Read more →

Green Like Money, Not Like Earth
Our list of fashion pet peeves used to go like this: Sunglasses with crystals on the lenses. Any pant with a drawstring closure. Shorts with thigh highs. But now there’s something more serious on our radar, and it’s become our biggest fashion vice yet: Clothes that say “Recycle!” or “Earth day is every day!” or Read more →

We Love Passive-Aggressive Fashion
It’s been a while since the last time we came across a spoof of the Anya Hindmarch “I’m Not a Plastic Bag” tote, but we think this one really beats them all. Despite the bag’s popularity, and the good things we know came from it, we couldn’t help but burst out into laughter when we Read more →

Lydia Goes Eco
Tomorrow night’s events roster includes a fashion show benefit in support of Bobby Kennedy’s Riverkeeper Foundation and the Amazon Conservation Association. The show will take place at the Hilton Ballroom, and will also be the premier of Maggie Norris’ eco-couture collection – we don’t know what that’s going to look like, but here’s a fun Read more →

Being Ethical Gets Cute
We’ve always wished Teen Vogue had an uber eco-conscious fraternal twin sister who would be the founding member of her school’s Ethical Fashion Club, and tote around Naomi Klein’s No Logo as her boldest accessory. Ok, so not really, but we do think BBC’s new online magazine Thread. is pretty cool, and fills a void Read more →

Plastic, Fantastic, Inevitable
We were walking by LUSH today, and one of their employees was outside. She was dressed in about a hundred plastic bags, all pinned to her apron to form a very ugly dress, and she was screaming, “Turn in your bags! Turn in your bags!” It’s too bad we were so creeped out, because it Read more →
