Pants to Poverty

Posted Oct 1st 2008 at 9:49AM by Cat Lincoln

Filed under: Clothing, Swimwear and Lingerie, Green Fashion

Thanks to our friends over at TONIC News, we were just tipped off to the ethically sexy underwear from Pants to Poverty.

The British brand was inspired by Nelson Mandela, and started out almost as a lark, with 12,000 organic undies in someone's garage. They brought the panties to the Glastonbury Festival, then held a flash mob of people in their Pants to Poverty briefs, and moved on to the G8 Rally in Edinburgh.

By the end of the first year, they'd almost sold out the entire supply from the garage, and in the process raised a serious amount of awareness about poverty.

People Tree's ethical runway show

Posted 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.

The BBC is searching for an ethical fashion stylist

Maybe you're not a designer, but you have the magic touch when it comes to putting together an outfit. And perhaps you are also very into ethical style, reworking vintage into something new, or finding the newest organic styles? If you're also over 16 and in England, you should totally enter the BBC Thread's Style Search Competition.

Four finalists get to go to London Fashion Week in September, and the winner gets to work with a stylist on a runway show. All you have to do is upload a digital photo of an outfit that you styled, and hope that the eco-fabulous experts think you're the best.

Well, there's a little more to it than that. If you're interested, check out the criteria and rules. But hurry! Deadline for entries is coming up fast: August 26, 2008.

Hot panties change color as you wear them

Posted May 14th 2008 at 9:35AM by Diane Shipley

Filed under: Swimwear and Lingerie


You remember Global Hypercolor, right? Those heat-sensitive t-shirts that changed color as you wore them (and then went all funny-looking after a few washes)? We loved ours so much. In fact, we still have a picture of ourselves wearing it at the gates of Disneyworld, circa 1992 (no, you can't see it...) Anyway, now that same technology has been appropriated into another item of apparel: panties.

The Natural Store, naturally

If there is one thing that we love as much as fashion it's conservation and corporations that believe in it, that's why we were happy to find The Natural Store.

This is what they say about themselves:

The Natural Store is a different type of Department Store – dealing only with suppliers who operate on a Fair Trade basis, have high ethical and moral values, or who try to minimise their impact on the environment. So whether you're after individually made organic chocolates endorsed by the Soil Association, sensual underwear in organic cotton and hemp/silk or a wind-up radio so you can tune to your favourite station, we're the natural choice.
