Could you wear one dress for an entire year? Day 48 of The Uniform Project. Photo courtesy of theuniformproject.com

For us fashion types, the idea of wearing one dress even twice in one week can be daunting. Yet, Sheena Matheiken has vowed to wear one dress for an entire year.

As the founder of The Uniform Project, Matheiken will wear one dress for one year all in the name of charity and sustainable fashion.

For the "uniform" part of the project, Matheiken drew inspiration from the school uniforms of her childhood in India -- they served as a blank slate for creativity.

Donations raised by this year-long project will benefit the Akanksha Foundation, a grassroots charity based in Mumbai, whose contributions go to fund uniforms and other school expenses for children in the slums of India.

People Tree's ethical runway show

Email thisPosted Sep 12th 2008 at 12:56PM by Kristen Seymour

Filed under: Runway Trends, Clothing, Green Fashion

People Tree, a pioneer in the world of eco-conscious fashion, held a swanky runway show in the hip London club Whiskey Mist at Zeta last night, and it wasn't only the clothing that was held to ethical standards. People Tree chose to use models from Quintessentially Models, an agency that "takes an ethically-based approach to model management refusing to represent any 'size zero' models."

Don't think for a second, though, that this was a bunch of chubby hippies looking at tie-dye t-shirts. People Tree's Autumn/Winter 2008 is full of trendy dresses, tops, and capes. Check out the gallery to see a sampling of styles.

Bindi Irwin's eco-fashion range

Bindi Irwin is one busy kid. Between TV shows, albums, public appearances, and spending time at the Australia Zoo, it's hard to imagine she has time for anything more. However, as we reported earlier this year, she has her own eco-friendly clothing line, and it looks like she's now launching another eco-fashion line.

Bindi's new line, RENEW, is a "restore the planet" line made from only second-generation cotton. According to Bindi's peeps, second-generation cotton is better than organic cotton for a couple of reasons -- it creates less pollution and it uses less energy and water. Crikey -- who knew?

Now hipsters can use sex to sway political opinion -- just like the grown-ups! [Damn I Like That!]

Save $15 on purchases over $100 at Bluefly. Sweet. [Budget Fashionista]

Alexander McQueen is way too ~~self-important~~ artistic for schmoozing, celebrities, and promoting himself. So much so, that he hopes Paris Hilton won't show up at the opening of his new LA store. Zing. Kind of. [Catwalk Queen]

A bunch of fully-clothed women freak out like they're suddenly naked in public. It's an ad for Downy Softener, and it's surprisingly funny. [Trend Hunter]

Eco-friendly fashion is lame and expensive. [Second City Style]

Finally! Now women can pee on the go. [Jezebel]
