Sheryl Crow plans eco-chic clothing line
Filed under: Style in the News, Clothing, Jeans, Celebrities with Style
Just what the fashion world needs, another quasi-boring, overpriced celebrity clothing line -- at least this one will be eco-friendly. Alt-rocker and breast cancer survivor Sheryl Crow has apparently decided to jump on the bandwagon of rock stars pretending to be fashion designers, teaming up with Western Glove Works (the same guys who manufacture Posh's dVb jeans) to bring us a new line of vintage inspired, eco-chic casual wear.
We know Sheryl as both a cancer and environmental activist, but not so much a fashionista. Her line will be called "Bootheel Trading Co. by Sheryl Crow," and will consist of mostly denim-based apparel: t-shirts, jeans, organic cotton this, fair trade that, etc. We're expecting the collection to be one part granola, and one part western wear -- judging by Sheryl's laid-back fashion sense. A friend told Star magazine that "She's heading to Australia in October to meet with her partners and start production." No telling when the line will actually hit stores though, or what stores it will hit.

At first my reason for searching out organic cotton was medical.
At only a few weeks old my son developed severe eczema and his pediatrician suggested organic cotton as an alternative to the harsh steroidal creams they wanted to put him on. The search for organic clothing was not easy, and just plain expensive, but I knew his baby skin could not take the harsh chemicals used in regular textiles. The more research I did, the more I knew our entire family needed to make a change, for us and the planet.
That was when I founded a company that supplies eco friendly clothing, and since it is a family adventure, the prices are very reasonable. ($12-$30) You will probably see the same products in your local boutique for twice as much, I know I did.
But best of all, after about 6 months of wearing organic, our baby has no sign of eczema.
