The Fashion Statement: Who are the Greenest Designers? {Luxist}
Oct 15th 2009 10:06AM I think that overall it's a good thing to consider all the elements when deciding on what is green and I realize there is a lot of greenwashing going on but I also think it can be harmful to the whole green movement to get too caught up in all the details.
To fault a designer who claims to be green because the sustainable fabric he/she chose traveled too great a distance is not helping create the demand for this sustainable fabric.
People have been traveling and with that goods have also been traveling and that isn't about to change - let's just focus on coming up with a sustainable way to enable transportation.
The focus in terms of green designers should be on showing the versatility of sustainable fabrics, that they can also be luxurious and creating a demand for them. Once the demand is there - designers won't likely have to travel great distances to source it.
Organic Beauty Yet to Catch On in U.S. {Luxist}
Jan 6th 2009 3:03PM I really hope this isn't the case, there are too many chemicals in conventional beauty products today. It amazes me how so many companies are perfectly willing to jeopardize their customer's health for the sake of higher profits. What is particularly upsetting is that these companies then turn around and promote fundraising initiatives for breast cancer. Maybe it's just a case of a lack of awareness among consumers about these chemicals and a willingness to blindly trust the cosmetics manufacturers. this website might be of interest as it provides information about the various ingredients used in conventional cosmetics (http://www.cosmeticsdatabase.com)
