Noir – In Darkness All Colors Agree…
Published by Celestyna Brozek on April 01, 2010
A Danish company has so fallen for African cotton that they use exclusively organic and fair trade cotton farmed in Uganda and woven in Turkey to make their own cotton fabrics under the devastatingly mysterious label Illuminati II.
In addition to manufacturing fabric, the company also has two clothing labels whose beauty totally made my heart skip a beat, especially when I saw the awesome ad campaigns! So beautiful….

There is an online showroom I trust unequivocally. If they say a designer is hot, I say, I’m burnin’ up.

In order to get more of an inside glimpse of the green fashion industry, the owners of two of San Francisco’s finest green boutiques were gracious enough to do a Q&A with Green By Design. Their answers were truly inspiring. It’s great to see people so passionate about what they do.
Coyuchi Organic Bedding—A Tale of Two Cities
Published by Martha Danly on December 18, 2008
For a small town (pop. 800), Point Reyes Station, CA., has a lot going for it. It’s the home of the Cowgirl Creamery, makers of award-winning artisanal cheese. Straus Dairy is here too, the first organic dairy west of the Mississippi. We have not one, but two local newspapers—a Pulitzer Prize-winning rag and another that [...]
