Keds Goes Green with Loomstate

Opt for eco-friendly and fashionable kicks! Keds and Loomstate have teamed up for a line of environmentally conscious slip-ons. Photo courtesy of Keds

Launching exclusively at Barneys today (June 15), Keds has teamed up with Loomstate for a summer collection of sustainable and organic versions of its iconic canvas sneaker.

The capsule collection consists of five printed, slip-on styles with organic uppers and linings and a 100 percent recycled insole. Just to be thorough, each pair will also come in a recycled, re-used shoe box and forgo the usual tissue paper inside.

A percentage of the proceeds will go to Organic Exchange, an organization that supports sustainable and organic farming.

At $75 a pair, they may not be the cheapest pair of Keds you've ever owned, but they are definitely the greenest!

Earth Day Round-up

The fashion industry is promoting guilt-free shopping today in honor of Earth Day. Designers really want you to reduce your eco-footprint by purchasing their various wares. (Aww, isn't that sweet?) Here's how:

Target's first eco-friendly designer collaboration, Loomstate for Target, has hit stores just in time for you to pull together your edgy, organic-cotton look for Earth Day fetes.
Looking to add to your monogrammed luggage set? If you shop online at Louis Vuitton today, the luxury retailer will donate 15% of all purchases on their US website to The Climate Project. FYI, The Climate Project is an organization founded by Al Gore, who also helped invent the internet. (How's that for synergy?)
Pretty Little Thing NYC is selling a globe necklace to commemorate the planet's special day. The rest of the year, the globe revolves around you ... er, your neck. A portion of the proceeds from these babies are going to The Wilderness Society.
Did you know Donna Karan is a total natural wellness hippie? Check out this video of Donna explaining some of the techniques and benefits of holistic medicine and her new project Urban Zen. BTW, she's designed a bunch of awesome tees that benefit charity, available exclusively at Tonic.
Keds has revamped their classic kicks for Earth Day. Not only are their Green Label shoes made of organic cotton and recycled rubber, but for each pair sold, Keds plants a tree. Friday is Arbor Day people!
Anthopologie hooked up with Edun (the brainchild of Bono's wife Ali Hewson) for a line of Bee Tees. These 100% organic tees will bring awareness to the alarming disappearance of honeybees. All while making you look fashionable and socially-conscious, of course.
Don't throw out your old cosmetic containers. Origins has teamed up with Gossip Girl's Kelly Rutherford to launch a cosmetics recycling program. All Origins counters (even the ones inside department stores) will accept empty cosmetic containers from any brand.

Loomstate for Target Launch

It's been well documented that every time Target unveils a new designer collaboration (think Alexander McQueen, Thakoon, and Proenza Schouler) retail mayhem ensues. Last night, at the party to commemorate Target's first eco-friendly collaboration with the organic label Loomstate, it was Hollywood darlings in the form of Elizabeth Banks, Anna Paquin, and Anna Faris who were doing all the shopping. The private event, held at at Venice Beach's Big Red Sun, previewed the price-conscious and environmentally-sound clothing (range $14.99 to $44.99) created by Scott Mackinlay Hahn and Rogan Gregory. "There's absolutely no better partner than Target for our mission, for our values, and for our aesthetic point of view culturally, " said Hahn. "This is as good as it gets. We hope to work with them again." Don't worry fellow shoppers, this incarnation of guilt-free garments will hit stores on April 19th.

Loomstate: Organic casual

We were watching 30 Rock the other night and realized that those crafty types at General Electric had stretched Earth Day into Earth Week. The nerve. We're okay with it though, because we live every day like it's Earth Day. We also live every week like it's Shark Week. Carpe Diem is not lost on us.

It's not lost on Loomstate, either. "Loomstate was founded as a casual brand dedicated to creating demand for certified organic cotton using socially and environmentally responsible methods of production."

With Green House, Saks must think eco is chic

It must be official. Though I hadn't yet formed an opinion either way. a lot of people were saying that "eco" in fashion and style was a passing fancy. Like shoulder pads, leggings, and eelskin, eco is just another trend that would be hot for a while, but eventually die out.

Oh wait, leggings came back in a big way, and apparently, Saks is putting their money on eco. They now have a (sort of) permanent section on their online store called Green House, "the home of eco smart style." Structured just like the rest of the site, there are sections for women's apparel, accessories, beauty, and men. I'm guessing with this entire section dedicated to eco brands like Beau Soleil, Loomstate, and Organic, Saks thinks eco is worth it. Of course, we'll wait and see if they put a permanent link to it, instead of from a promo section on their front page.

Loomstate gives you organic cool

T-shirts have come along from the National Park souvenir shirts of my youth to the au courant pigment-dyed tops of my adulthood. While many women cite James Perse and C+C California as brand favorites, for me, it doesn't get any better than Loomstate. I first discovered Loomstate tees at pricey boutique here in town, but I've since found them at more affordable prices several places on the web, including the site Azalea Online.

Loomstate tees are cut from super soft organic cotton, which is as sustainable as it is stylish. Of the current collection of Loomstate tops, my favorite is the Sand Piper in Winter Night. Normally, I don't dig nature on my clothes, but there is something eye-catching and exotic about this two-toned design.
