This past month at London Fashion Week I caught up with five eco-designers at the Estethica exhibit that you must keep your eye out for.

Five eco-designers you must watch out for

So yah, I’ll be giving a book talk at the B&N in Tribeca (97 Warren Street) this coming Tuesday, July 14th at 7-9PM. Would love if you’d join me. Bring your questions. And if you ask nicely, I may just sign your book ;o)
Sydney’s sustainable style scene
Wednesday, June 24th, 2009I traveled to Sydney, Australia before Greenfest in Brisbane to check out their sustainable style scene. If you are in Sydney, you must stop by my friend Rachel’s shop, Bird who is also in the pages of my book Style, Naturally. Just a couple years ago she was still very small but now she’s expanded into two shops and is in just about 100 retail locations.
Even if you are not in the shopping mood, you’ll at least stare in wide-eyed wonder of the store’s magical landscape of whimsical printed organic clothes, linens and other novelties. I was most certain that some nymph or naiad would stretch its tiny limbs and work its way out of her printed fabrics and alight on my shoulder. Or at least a fairy or two. Regardless, some flight of fancy must have come over me because I fell under a spell that resulted in a more-than robust credit card bill! Just check out some of the ambiance below.
My next stop was at Screenhuas where I met Steve Woods. He works on the lost art of serigraphy, doing hand-print screenprinting for many fashion houses and local Australian designers. He uses more environmentally-responsible print dyes that can be used on anything from undergarments to baby clothes.
