Stella McCartney - "Being Called Sustainable is Not Sexy"

Posted Apr 22nd 2009 at 10:00AM by Cat Lincoln

Filed under: Interviews, Green Fashion

Stella McCartney has made headway as crusader against animal cruelty and maintains a vegan fashion line and lifestyle, but despite her penchant for organic fabrics, don't feel compelled to call her a sustainable designer. "It's not very sexy sounding, is it," she retorted recently at a Neiman Marcus shopping event in San Francisco when it was suggested that she is the face of sustainable luxury. "We've never shouted about it, and until recently no one has really mentioned it except for journalists. If anything, people would ridicule us when it came up!"

"That said, naturally I'm proud of it, because that's where fashion is going," she continued. "It's the most modern thing you can do. It's just the way I work – fashion isn't separate from the rest of your life. When we can do something that is environmentally conscious in the collection, then we do. If it looks like crap, then we don't do it."

Phat Hemp Handmade Hemp Jewelry

Filed under: Accessories, Interviews, Green Fashion

Phat Hemp handmade eco-friendly hemp jewelryThe appeal of hemp jewelry has always been a little lost on us. That is, until we saw some of the work of Phat Hemp jewelry designer Tiffany Garden. Her handmade hemp jewelry pieces for men and women are not exactly the hemp jewelry you grew up wearing in high school. Combining Czech glass and gemstones with this naturally eco-friendly fiber, her pieces have us looking at hemp in a new light.

Growing up, we were always sort of horrified by the annual contest Duct Tape sponsored, asking high school kids to make prom outfits completely out of their product. (Uh, no thanks.) But this dress -- made out of another household item -- is something we'd happily wear.

Moral Fabric: What t-shirts are made of

Whit Honea is a slacker, a borderline degenerate, and a daydream believer. He's also our resident expert on casual chic. If it's comfortable, and not heinous, he's all over it. He's quite charming, really.

Moral Fabric is a t-shirt company that originated in Texas. Their passion is to make t-shirts that "focus on the psychedelic art movement of the 60's and 70's, ancient Middle Eastern mosaic patterns, perception vs. reality, spiritual ideologies, and the intelligent designs of Mother Nature." You know, cool stuff.

It doesn't have to be an It Bag to be worthy of your admiration -- sometimes you just come across a handbag that encapsulates your personal style (or, at least, what you perceive to be your personal style that day). And that's when you know you have to have it.

Dante Beatrix: Bags for kids and the moms that love them

Posted Jun 10th 2008 at 2:35PM by Whit Honea

Filed under: Handbags, Accessories, Style in the News, Clothing, Kids and Babies, Style for a Cause, Green Fashion


Dante Beatrix makes bags. They make backpacks for children big and small and stylish totes for the moms walking briskly beside them.

The 'big kid eco pack' is designed for kids ages 5-10, and is "made of PET (100% recycled plastic bottles) with canvas trim, a naturally biodegradable fabric." They feature themes of peace, love and recycling. It's like understanding, but not as funny.

Is your kid a bit younger? No problem, what the 'little kid backpack' lacks in sustainable material it makes up for in creative design and durability. It's created to fit the 2-5 set and will hold all the crayons they can break.
