A book worth checking out is "Green is the New Black" by Tamsin Blanchard.
It has an interesting take about next season's hot looks but also how we as consumers are affecting global warming. Such questions addressed are: Does our shopping addiction contribute to climate change? What's so special about organic cotton? Who are the real fashion victims behind the GBP3 jeans?
Tamsin explains the principles of ethical fashion, offers tips on how to knit your own scarf, eco-coutur and the best places to shop for vintage sunglasses. The book also includes fun facts and essential directories on every aspect of "sustainable stylish living".
With fashion secrets from celebrity friends, "Green is the New Black" is a great buy for those of you that are fashion conscious yet eco-friendly.

Kate...you'll get more hits if you post some pics. Snag some off the web or even better, hit the streets of a busy city and take them yourself. Good luck! Dora
ReplyDeleteFor someone who is largely considered to possess absolutely no fashion sense whatsoever, your article on british fashion trends was enlightening. After reading your article, I experienced one of those rare moments in life when real change occurs, and a new-better dressed-life begins. Again, thank you.
