You know the deal. Fashion Week is about more than big names. And Intern Anastasia does some investigative work about less well known designers after the jump.
Word on the Runway:
The boutique is not just an outlet for Hofring's namesake label of hand-crocheted dresses, but carries nearly a dozen fair-trade and earth-friendly brands for men and women…Standouts include Kuyichi denim's ‘bio-cotton’ dark wash jeans, and local designer Susan Cianciolo's handmade tops sewn with stream-of-consciousness-style phrases like ‘Never Mind’ and ‘Sunray is Bliss.’
Everything in the store meets strict eco-guidelines and contains no less than 90% organic content. In addition most garments are ethically produced and meet fair trade guidelines.
Anastasia says: I know it’s organic, why does it have to look organic? There’s so much off-white and eggplant. Also, it doesn’t seem like one of the requirement of high fashion—throwing out all your clothes and getting new ones every season—is really “earth-friendly.” But what do I know? I don’t even shop at Whole Foods.
