ecouterre unveiled

23.09.09 | insiyar | No Comments

A New Home for Sustainable Fashion online:

MrLarkin_OliviaDress1

Just got word that eco-design portal Inhabitat just unveiled Ecouterre, an eco-fashion website dedicated to writing about about designers who not only contemplate cut, form, and drape, but also a garment’s social and environmental impact, from the cultivation of its fibers to lifecycle and disposal.

In ecouterre’s words, their mission is: To follow the evolution of the apparel industry toward a smarter and more sustainable future, as well as facilitate a conversation about why sustainable fashion matters.

Definitely important in Yogue’s view, since our take on clothing has always been that it affects all of us and so intimately.  After all, we do wear clothes (most of us) all the time and the choices we make collectively and individually can have an enormous impact on our environment.

Add ecouterre to your bookmarks to stay in the loop for news on emerging eco-fashion trends, interviews with leading designers working with sustainable fabrics and the stats on why moving towards sustainable practices in fashion could be the saving grace for what is generally a pretty wasteful industry.

namaste.  peace.

    Hi Insiya Rasiwala,

    I just found you on Twitter and thought to say hello. I’m going to the Peace Summit tomorrow – cannot wait! Great to hear the Dalai Lama spoke to you.

    Ecouterre is definitely the way of the future. Thanks for posting. I volunteer with a non-profit society based in Vancouver that works on income generating initiatives for women with HIV/AIDS in rural Uganda. They make gorgeous jewelry and bags, on sale through our org here in Vancouver.

    Shanti is also connected to the yoga community and we welcome your support!

    Please see our website and blog:

    Cheers,
    Lindsay
    Shanti Uganda Society Board member
