Descending upon the sustainable scene were runways touting eco-friendly fabrics, socially conscious brands and the latest and greatest in what we can expect to be the next green fashion trends.
However, ‘Huggers have a knack for spotting a splashy fleeting fad from a green mile away. Here are five well-crafted and eco-conscious sustainable favorites we think are here to stay:...
Designer Collectives are a great way for young designers to get together and make a name for themselves. Often they may not have the money or the clout or enough fashion savy to get into the big shows so by grouping together these up and coming entrepreneurs can have more of an impact and learn the business from each other.
