This week, the company announced that it's closing its doors: "Just as we could not have predicted the sudden groundswell of environmental consciousness that blossomed at the time we launched our business, we did not foresee the current cri ... |

Electric Frock
Researchers develop energy-generating clothing |
|
15 Feb 2008 |
News |
| Posted at 12:49 PM on 15 Feb 2008 We like the idea of harvesting energy from our own movement, but wearing a knee brace just sounds too clunky. But now U.S. researchers publishing in Nature have developed a way to generate electricity from nanofibers woven into fabric. If the technology goes mainstream, we'll be able to generate energy just by getting dressed -- which, of course, we do every day. Except on Nude Friday. sources: Assoc ... |

Tongue Tied
On leather vs. pleather shoes |
Umbra Fisk |
23 Jan 2008 |
Ask Umbra |
| Hi Umbra, As a devoted vegetarian, I try to make it a point to avoid leather footwear. However, after too many hours of deep thought on the subject, I am now conflicted about the environmental ramifications of my choice to buy processed petroleum shoes, i.e., pleather. Leather is, after all, a natural material; pleather is plastic. So is it better for the environment to put aside my veggie ethics in favor of a natural material, ... |

News |
| Posted at 10:15 AM on 03 Dec 2007 In the good old days, the only constant that the fickle fashion industry could rely on was the changing of the seasons -- now, it can't even rely on that anymore. A run of unseasonably warm winters has led some apparel companies to hire staff climatologists who help predict when consumers will be in the market for cold-weather clothes. Because, darling, buying a winter-antic ... |

Retailers plagued by lower-than-expected September earnings included Nordstrom, Target, American Eagle Outfitters, Limited Brands, and JCPenney, all of which have had trouble moving autumn and winter clothing. Our suggestion: prove those re ... |

From Heatherette to Diane von Furstenberg to Oscar de la Renta, these eco-minded artisans are whipping up "fashion with a conscience" faster than you can say "green is the new black."
