From Birkenstock’s to Couture

From Birkenstocks to Bloomingdales, environmentalism has been raising its profile in the fashion industry. This past decade has witnessed the birth of ‘eco-fashion’ – stylized clothing that uses environmentally sustainable materials and responsible production techniques. But is eco-fashion really as sensitive as it claims to be, or is this just another superficial fashion hype? What are the forces driving eco-fashion forward? Will consumers always have to balance fashion against sustainability and cost? And if so, what factors affect these decisions? Join us as a panel of industry experts –including fashion designers and boutique owners – discuss the eco-fashion movement, its attributes, and its future.
