On this blog, I have been an advocate of H&M’s, in support of the transparency they show on labor rights and environmental efforts. In this world, genuineness and transparency are everything. However, H&M will never be anything but “fast fashion” — low-priced garments that will last anywhere from one wash to a few […]
It’s called “Afrika,” comes in red+black and white+black as a tube dress, high-waisted leggings, a headband or a tube bra, and none of the above is over $34. A beautiful new addition.
You’ve probably heard the news by Nau: It’s back! (Sorry, couldn’t resist… and that one actually worked. Grin.)
I have had the privilege of covering Nau’s comeback for Worldchanging.com, and with that has come the treat of meeting Mark Galbraith, Nau VP of Design, and Gordon Seabury, president of Nau’s new sister company, Horny Toad. HT […]
It’s hard to turn a corner without running into some kind of advocacy against the genocide in Darfur. God bless our collective conscience, right? Public Library designed these tees for Urban Outfitters, from which $5 of the $28 price goes to savedarfur.org. (Of course, you can also donate directly to the cause on the Save […]
I saw U2 in 2002 on their Elevation tour, and I must say that one of my biggest take-aways of the night was that Bono is a DORK. (Affectionately!) He gives himself emotionally to his music and his crowds, and while Thom Yorke and Chris Martin somehow do this really attractively… Bono doesn’t.
But as […]
What. A. Find. According to Sprig.com, Corso Como shoes are ethically and safely made by hand in Brazil of vegetable dyed leathers, with a portion of each sale going to women’s and children’s charities. These qualities alone are enough to make us love this brand, but on top of that, the line offers literally hundreds […]
When Rogan Gregory’s partnership with Target’s GO International line was announced last year, the big question was whether the designer’s respect for the environment would be reflected in the line. The answer? A resounding “Yes.” And was there really any question? With the notoriously-ethical labels EDUN, Loomstate and his own Rogan under his wing, it’s […]
I am disappointed and disheartened to let you know that Nau clothing company is closing up shop.
With all its heart, smarts, R&D and TLC, we are losing a company with perhaps the most potential to improve the way the garment industry works.
As part of its “winding down business operations,” everything at Nau is 50 percent […]
We made a great choice — the shoes are sweet. Despite my suspicion at how they’d look when worn, they look fab. I went with black after all for versatility, and the suede heel sections make a nice variety of textures. They’re surprisingly low on the instep, as you can see, but they’re nice and […]
Today is Earth Day, which, by the nature of my blog, I guess I should be celebrating. So let’s celebrate! It’s all-you-can-eat today…
1) Rashida Jones, better known as the season-long obstacle to Jim and Pam’s imminent romance, even better known as Karen from The Office, has launched an eco-friendly clothing line. Read a not-so-enthusiastic mini […]
I sat down today to create a “Get this look” entry — to snag a sweet runway or on-the-street outfit and find some socially-friendly pieces to recreate it, but then I flipped through the Mon Petit Oiseau spring collection, and my work was done. No need to search out anyone else’s styling — these looks […]
If I were a betting person, I’d bet you’ll LOVE this dress/jacket in Nau’s spring line.
Haven’t yet read all about Nau? By all means, please do. They’re a world leader in conscientious clothing production, from labor practices to materials innovation to digitally-driven stores and beyond. In the particular description for this dress/jacket, its suggested uses […]
