The Eco Fahionifesto

So, you may be wondering what IS eco fashion anyway.If so, you will be happy to hear it does not involve walking around in burlap or cornhusk gunnysacks. Instead, green fashion is a more conscious form of style. It means wearing Organic over Synthetic. It means supporting Fair Trade consumer labels as well as local boutiques and designers. It means Recycling old pieces and going gaga over Vintage! 

It means choosing Animal Friendly designers like Stella McCartney (as opposed to dressing in animal skins, comeon, we have our own!) It means discovering new and delightful Textiles (Hemp ,Recycled Goods, Alternative Wools.) It means following the example of celebrity trailblazers like Natalie Portman, Bono and others. It means Voting with your dollars. It means looking totally unique, having clothes that tell a story, but also SPEAK environmentally and politically. Green is much more than the "new black". Green is our revolution. You wear green, and you will look better than everyone you know—
