A housewares store in New York is displaying sustainable garments created by CFDA fashion designers. Some of those designers received awards for having a business that is at least 30% sustainable. I think it is great that these eco friendly garments are being featured in such a cool, unique way and the fact that they are recruiting and honoring CFDA designers who have created sustainable garments shows that the fashion industry recognizes the importance of going green.

A chemist/fashion designer has created jeans that can make the air cleaner. The jeans are coated with particles of titanium dioxide to neutralize nitrogen oxide emitted by vehicles and factories and the bi product of nitrates washes away in the laundry. Professor Storey, the creator said "Jeans were the ideal item of clothing for their invention because there were more denim jeans on the planet than people."

Interesting idea. Why don't they put it on paint on buildings or cars instead?

This second article is about how this year in New York fashion week, sustainability was also a new trend. But for different designers and brands sustainability means different things, like being ethical or using environmentally friendly products. It really all depended on the designers and their definition of sustainability.

I have read about people trying to get more information on tags so consumers can make their own decisions. I think people do have different definitions.

The designer of the olympic torch has partnered with the fashion powerhouse Louis Vuitton to create a torch that is both sustainable and intriguing. Not much is known about the torch so far, however it is exciting to see fashion pairing with the olympics.

Ecouterre is a website that promotes about eco friendly fashion, designers, and technology. The idea is to inform the public about the advances being made in sustainable fashion. There has also been a new certificate developed that encourages fashion brands and retailers to recycle waste and become more sustainable. Consumers are able to use the certificate to see how their purchase is directly impacting the environment. I think this certificate is such a great idea. Being able to directly see how one's purchase is affecting the environment will definitely encourage more people to shop at retailers that utilize the certificate.

A Minnesota fashion group has created a set of standards for sustainable and "green" fashion. The group hopes to better put the consumer at ease by informing them of the strict standards that are carried out to ensure their garment is ethically made and environmentally sustainable. The group offers their certification requirements free of cost to the designer so it is not difficult or expensive to attain for companies just starting out.

A set of standards is a good idea. The USDA can set organic standards but most of the environmental harm is from the chemicals used on the textiles later in the cycle.

Who would have thought that cardboard, steel/tin, recycled fabric and clothing, aluminum, plastics, paper cartons, chipboard, newspaper, mixed papers and glass could be used to design dresses, pantsuits, coats and more? I feel as though more and more people will participate in creating clothing made from recycled products, so long as the word about it continues to spread.

I feel like I've seen these projects before and even used as displays to promote recycling. At my last school, I took a fiber class and the professor had each of us make outfits from recycled materials she offered. It turned out to be a fun project and most of the outfits actually looked good. This is just one of many ways to get people more excited and aware of recycling and reusing materials.

Two years ago at our Earth Day, a student organized a Recycled Fashion Show. She created all the clothing, organized the models, and conducted the show on the quad. Look at page 16 of this report I wrote a few years ago: http://www.lasell.edu/Documents/Reports/2009-2010-Lasell-College-Sustainability-Report.pdf
