				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="https://ecosalon.com/no-joke-crocs-just-made-their-runway-debut-at-lfw-2017/"><img src="http://ecosalon.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/FN.jpg" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-158435 wp-post-image" alt="No Joke: Crocs Just Made their Runway Debut at LFW 2017" /></a></p>
<p><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">After a collaboration with Crocs (no, that’s not a typo), designer Christopher Kane has gone where no fashion designer has gone before &#8211; and on the London Fashion Week runway, no less.</span></i></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Wearers of Crocs, lovers of comfort, purveyors of practicality, lend me your feet, for all of your molded clog wearing dreams have officially come true. That&#8217;s right, my squishy soled friends (all two of you), classic Crocs have just made their first, and likely only, appearance on the runway during London Fashion Week, and you can bet your favorite pair that critics are up in arms. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">If you follow fashion even just a little bit, then you can attest to some of the outrageous trends that have spawned from fits of bad judgment, but I don&#8217;t think the world was ready for the emergence of something so&#8230;pedestrian. Perhaps the inclusion of the hyper-sensible and notorious clog was exactly the kind of shock and awe this designer, known for his barely wearable, avant-garde ensembles, was looking for. And while I have a sneaking suspicion that this was a well-orchestrated publicity stunt, and not a declaration of style, we may never know for sure.</span></p><div id="inContentContiner"><!-- /4450967/ES-In-Content -->

<figure id="attachment_158443" style="width: 640px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><a href="http://ecosalon.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/Crocs.jpg"><img class="wp-image-158443 size-large" src="http://ecosalon.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/Crocs-910x455.jpg" alt="No Joke: Crocs Just Made their Runway Debut at LFW 2017" width="640" height="320" /></a><figcaption class="wp-caption-text">Nope, nope, and more nope.</figcaption></figure>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Whether designer Christopher Kane is one helluva risk taker, or teetering on the very brink of insanity is still up for debate, but in the realm of all things tasteful, it&#8217;s safe to assume that most critics are adamantly leaning towards the latter. Although we give him a C+ for effort since he did bedazzle them, albeit haphazardly, with some shiny rocks, I&#8217;m still perplexed as to how these ever found themselves paired with the likes of evening wear, much less clopping down the catwalk. Don&#8217;t even get me started on whether or not these stones were glued on, or actually fabricated to plug inside the shoe&#8217;s signature air vents, because either way, well, I just can&#8217;t even. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Rumor has it, according to </span><a href="http://footwearnews.com/2016/runway/spring-2017/christopher-kane-crocs-spring-2017-shoes-london-fashion-week-lfw-photos-258900/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Footwear News</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, that this was actually a Kane x Crocs type of collab, which means these LFW 2017 slip-ons will be coming to a store near you. Whether you just exclaimed &#8220;Yikes!&#8221; or &#8220;Yay!&#8221; matters not, because when a seemingly ridiculous trend comes about, there&#8217;s usually always a brave soul in the blog-o-sphere willing to take one for the team. So before your favorite fashion icons can beat you to the punch, I&#8217;ve got a few tips on how to style and wear your Crocs for 2017&#8230;if you dare.</span></p>
<figure id="attachment_158444" style="width: 640px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><a href="http://ecosalon.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/Crocs-2.jpg"><img class="wp-image-158444 size-large" src="http://ecosalon.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/Crocs-2-910x455.jpg" alt="No Joke: Crocs Just Made their Runway Debut at LFW 2017" width="640" height="320" /></a><figcaption class="wp-caption-text">Three sets of shoes covers, stat!</figcaption></figure>
<p><b>With DIY Shoe Covers</b></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This may seem counterproductive, but it will actually save you a lot of heartache (and pointing and laughing) for you to go ahead and make a couple of custom shoe covers and just hide those babies right off the bat. I know you paid at least $35 plus tax for your new Kane x Crocs shoes, but just trust me on this one. This nice lady has got you covered with a </span><a href="http://dianarambles.com/2014/02/diy-shoe-covers.html"><span style="font-weight: 400;">simple shoe cover DIY</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">. </span></p>
<p><b>With Long Maxi Skirts</b></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Fall may be approaching, but you can actually get tons more wear out of a maxi skirt than you might realize.Top that sucker with a felt hat and a cute jean jacket, and you&#8217;ll be well on your way. Just make sure that if you’re wearing it with your new Crocs that it’s really long. I mean really, really, really long.</span></p>
<p><b>With Your Grandparents</b></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Perfect for an enthralling game of shuffleboard, 18 holes on the green, or just putting around the ol’ nursing home. That’s right, Crocs are </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">the</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;"> shoe to wear while chilling with your grandparents. But before you start showing off your bunion bling at Whispering Pines, be sure they live at least three states away from where you normally do, because running into one of your friends is not okay. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Well, there you have it my friends, the lowdown on the latest wild and crazy Kane x Crocs trend (it still feels weird to even type that) has been unveiled, and now it’s up to you to make your own observations, scrunched up faces, and gasps of disbelief. Next time a designer pulls a stunt like this, I hope it’s actually worthwhile. Show me a Croc made from recycled materials, and then we can talk. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Do you think fashion has lost its ever loving mind? Or will you dare to wear this latest Crocs craze? How do you think these are best worn?

<p><em>Compared to the recent luck of the American Northeast, the weather for London Fashion Week seems positively balmy. Perhaps the envy-worthy temperature of 48°F (for this cold New Yorker, anyway) is best attributed to the hot looks found on the runway over the past week.</em></p>
<p>Of no exception, of course, is the latest line from one of our favorite conscious designers, Vivienne Westwood, and her ceaselessly luminous Red Label. At London Fashion Week, the designer’s Fall 2015 Ready-to-Wear collection provided a welcome contrast to the murky, muddied gutter snow currently associated with the season, with models walking in striking, long pink skirts and bright, multi-dimensional fitted corsets.</p>
<p>From sweaters, to scarves, to skirts, we selected the label’s five looks from London Fashion Week most likely to put a spring in our step.</p><div id="inContentContiner"><!-- /4450967/ES-In-Content -->
    <div id="div-gpt-ad-1430927735854-0">

      googletag.display("div-gpt-ad-1430927735854-0");
      googletag.pubads().refresh([adslot4]);
    });
    </script>
    </div>

    <!-- ES-In-Content
		<script type="text/javascript">

<p><strong>1.</strong> <img class="alignnone size-large wp-image-149915" src="http://ecosalon.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/1-276x415.jpg" alt="5 Must-Have London Fashion Looks from Vivienne Westwood Red Label" width="276" height="415" /></p>
<p>No matter what the season, there&#8217;s something about a red dress. It always stands out and, whether a party or professional setting, it&#8217;s fit for nearly any occasion. Vivienne Westwood got the memo, and incorporated this sweeping, fire-engine-red frock into her most recent show. Boldly paired with chunky gold jewelry on the runway, accessorizing this dress could go in more than one direction, with silver pieces chicly contrasting the fabric. When the snow starts to thaw, the flowing skirt will beautifully top a pair of open-toed heels or sandals.</p>
<p><strong>2. <img class="alignnone size-large wp-image-149916" src="http://ecosalon.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/2-276x415.jpg" alt="5 Must-Have London Fashion Looks from Vivienne Westwood Red Label" width="276" height="415" /></strong></p>
<p>There are fewer pieces that scream &#8220;Quintessential London Fashion&#8221; more than a navy blazer or jacket. Paired here with a bright scarf and what could be either a little black dress or skirt, it makes for a look that seamlessly combines regional classics with a modern feel. It&#8217;s suspected that only the brave will get away with the runway-appropriate knee socks and ankle straps; for the rest of us, thigh-high boots and tights will do nicely with an outfit like this one.</p>
<p><strong>3. <img class="alignnone size-large wp-image-149917" src="http://ecosalon.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/3-276x415.jpg" alt="5 Must-Have London Fashion Looks from Vivienne Westwood Red Label" width="276" height="415" srcset="https://storage.googleapis.com/wpesc/1/2015/02/3-276x415.jpg 276w, https://storage.googleapis.com/wpesc/1/2015/02/3-199x300.jpg 199w, https://storage.googleapis.com/wpesc/1/2015/02/3.jpg 479w" sizes="(max-width: 276px) 100vw, 276px" /></strong></p>
<p>What better way to infuse the winter season with the bright spirit of summer than with a mustard yellow cowl-neck sweater? Matched with an identically-hued skirt, this look cozies up to an oversized men&#8217;s blazer to compose an outfit well-placed in environments ranging from the office to the bar. The animal-print shoes throw in a dash of fun to contrast the staunchness of the jacket, reflecting Westwood&#8217;s tendency, this season, to intersect masculine and feminine elements.</p>
<p><strong>4. <img class="alignnone size-large wp-image-149918" src="http://ecosalon.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/4-276x415.jpg" alt="5 Must-Have London Fashion Looks from Vivienne Westwood Red Label" width="276" height="415" /></strong></p>
<p>Vivienne Westwood is a master of showing us the cool girl: The one who can get away with the simplest pairing of pieces for a look that&#8217;s at once flawlessly trendy, as if to also say, &#8220;Oh, this old thing? It&#8217;s just my Red Label sweater.&#8221;  This plaid skirt, olive sweater combo is practically a uniform for the girl who doesn&#8217;t mind if the hues of her clothing items don&#8217;t exactly match; she knows she looks good, and is so self-assured that she&#8217;s perfectly confident wearing flats. Yes, this London Fashion Week look is best assigned to your officemate dubbed the &#8220;friend crush&#8221;: The one you&#8217;re too nervous to ask to lunch, but once you get to know her, will happily <a href="http://ecosalon.com/19-hilariously-embarrassing-things-that-happen-during-drunk-sex/">drunk</a>-dial your ex for you.</p>
<p><strong>5. <img class="alignnone size-large wp-image-149919" src="http://ecosalon.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/5-276x415.jpg" alt="5 Must-Have London Fashion Looks from Vivienne Westwood Red Label" width="276" height="415" /></strong></p>
<p>Ask anyone at London Fashion Week: <a href="http://ecosalon.com/dust-off-disco-ball-seventies-decor/">Disco</a> is not dead. Silver metallics reminiscent of the 1970s have been surfacing on numerous areas of the runway; if not on the set or backdrop, then on the models.  This dress is as well-suited to any urban cocktail lounge today as it would be in &#8220;American Hustle,&#8221; especially when paired with such fabulously retro sunglasses. The accessories define the mood; the animal-print flats worn here create a smooth, comfortable look uncomplicated by the distraction of, for example, stilettos, and free of any walk-of-shame connotations.</p>

<p><em>London Fashion Week&#8217;s <a href="http://www.britishfashioncouncil.co.uk/content/1146/Estethica" target="_blank">Estethica Exhibition</a>, now in its 14th consecutive season, is the British Fashion Council&#8217;s showcase of the industry&#8217;s leading sustainable style-makers.</em></p>
<p>At the launch of the Fall/Winter 2013 exhibition at London&#8217;s Somerset house over the weekend, a number of sustainable designers who have previously graced the posts of EcoSalon were present, including <a href="http://ecosalon.com/london-fashion-weeks-estethica-exhibition/" target="_blank">Mich Dulce</a> and <a href="http://ecosalon.com/pachacuti-hats-set-new-ethical-bar/" target="_blank">Pachacuti</a>. But it was the newcomer <a href="http://www.aneisruda.com.br" target="_blank">Rudá Rings</a>&#8211;the work of Brazilian designer Janice Perez&#8211;that caught our attention with creations that are equal parts organic and outrageous.</p>
<p>Perez&#8217;s designs have indigenous roots, both in their name— Rudá means &#8216;the god of love&#8217; in the indigenous Tupi Guarani language—and in the materials that she sources. The base of her rings are made of Brazilian hardwood that she reclaims from discarded furniture and demolished houses. She tops them off with raw stones—mainly working with hematite, pyrite, vanadinite, uvite and lapis lazuli—from 35 countries including Brazil, Mexico, Chile, and Kazakhstan. Lastly, Perez polishes the wood with carnauba wax, sourced from a palm tree commonly found in the northeast of Brazil.</p><div id="inContentContiner"><!-- /4450967/ES-In-Content -->

<p>Perez never alters the stone, as she says that she likes to use them &#8220;the way nature provides it&#8221; and then craft the wood around it. Formerly a shoe designer like her father, Perez decided to start her own label in 2007 and considered creating a sustainable and eco-friendly product as her core criteria.</p>
<p>In order to work with the reclaimed hardwood she uses, Perez had to develop her own techniques by adapting her knowledge of several handicrafts. The ring&#8217;s shape is partially left to chance once she whittles down a block of wood to a suitable size and then drills a hole for the wearer&#8217;s finger.</p>
<p>The result is that each of her creations is unique and utterly show-stopping. With some of her rings taking up a whole hand, her creations could more accurately be described as sculpture than as jewelery.</p>

<p>The British Fashion Council&#8217;s <a href="http://www.britishfashioncouncil.com/content/1814/Guidelines" target="_blank">Estethica&#8217;s criteria</a> includes elements such as sourcing of materials, life cycle of the product, and supply chain knowledge, among others. While Perez is certainly taking heed of these factors in her designs, most impressive is her demonstrable passion for her creations, which not even a language barrier was able to mask at London Fashion Week.</p>
<p>&#8220;The ring needs to fascinate,” says Perez, &#8220;At the same time it needs to be sustainable. The designer will achieve that enhancing his creativity.”</p>

<p><em>London touts its sustainable fashion posse, and they are worth the look.</em></p>
<p>After cavorting the sustainable catwalks of <a href="http://ecosalon.com/tag/nyfw/">New York Fashion Week</a>, EcoSalon’s Spring Summer 2013 coverage hopped the pond (in high heels, of course) to London Fashion Week’s <a href="http://britishfashioncouncil.co.uk/content/1146/Estethica">Estethica</a> exhibition.</p>
<p>Now in its 13th season, the exhibition, hosted by the British Fashion Council, showcases a selection of designers which have shown a commitment to both social and environmental sustainability. The <a href="http://britishfashioncouncil.co.uk/content.aspx?CategoryID=1814">criteria</a> includes incorporating intelligent design principles to reduce an item’s life cycle impact, reducing the carbon footprint of transporting manufactured goods, using up-cycled or post consumer waste materials, and empowering the local communities where the products are made.</p><div id="inContentContiner"><!-- /4450967/ES-In-Content -->

<p>The West Wing of Somerset House was abuzz Sunday as the featured designers, with morning-appropriate flutes of bucks fizz in hand, were on board to talk about their collections. After viewing the 15 collections, we chose five standouts, which were impressive not just for their wares but also for their enlightened efforts to take the <a href="http://ecosalon.com/the-antidote-to-fast-fashion/">fast out of fashion</a>.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.google.com/">Honest By</a></strong></p>
<p><a href="http://ecosalon.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/Honest-By.png"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-135340" src="http://ecosalon.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/Honest-By.png" alt="" width="455" height="439" /></a></p>
<p>The headline designer of the Estethica exhibition was Belgian-born designer Bruno Pieters and his collection for Honest By, a label that is revolutionizing brand transparency. Launched in January of this year, Honest By has pledged to publish every aspect of their brand&#8217;s operations—categorized by material information, manufacturing details, price calculation, and carbon footprint—in meticulous detail on their website. You don’t have to go mining through some arcane corporate sustainability report for the specifics either; each individual item for sale has an <a href="http://www.honestby.com/en/product/199/dresses/dust-grey-organic-silk-longsleeve-panel-dress.html">exhaustive set of specifics</a> listed directly underneath it.</p>
<p>The clean and simple aesthetic of the Pieters collection mirrors the ethos of the brand, which will begin inviting new designers it grows. When the brand launched earlier this year, <em>Financial Times</em> editor Vanessa Friedman called it the “most subversive etail initiative” around, and rightly pointed out the fact that up until now, “fashion, especially high-end fashion, is a business built on opacity.” We like that Honest By holds transparency as its starting point, and we hope others follow suit.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://auria-london.com">Auria x Margot Bowman</a></strong></p>
<p><a href="http://ecosalon.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/Auria.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-135334" src="http://ecosalon.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/Auria.jpg" alt="" width="455" height="303" /></a></p>
<p>Accomplished young designer and London College of Fashion alum Diana Auria teamed up with her illustrator friend Margot Bowman for her SS13 swimwear collection. The whimsical and utterly dream-like prints were inspired by the Greek goddess of the hunt Artemis, and what might happen if the deity were to “fall from the heavens and onto the set of Baywatch.”</p>
<p>Using 100% re-purposed polyamide, Auria’s skivvies had prior manifestations as fishing nets or carpets; once the raw materials are procured though, the entire design and production process takes place within the UK. The design and silhouettes of the suits—which are thankfully not limited to skinny girl only string bikinis—include pieces that can go from beach to night, including a crop top that is screaming to be be paired with high waisted denim and worn to an east London club.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://carlafernandez.com">Carla Fernandez</a></strong></p>
<p><a href="http://ecosalon.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/Carla-Fernandez.png"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-135338" src="http://ecosalon.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/Carla-Fernandez.png" alt="" width="455" height="396" /></a></p>
<p>Each collection of Carla Fernandez’s label is inspired by a particular state or region of her home country of Mexico. A great example of this originates in the Yucatan Peninsula, where her pieces for the SS13 Mayaland collection are heavily accented by the rich tradition of textile arts specific to the region, such as hammock making, embroidery, wood turning, and silver and gold filigree. Local artisans help make the clothes, and when the wares go into mass production, Fernandez pays the original artisans royalties to honor their original ideas and designs.</p>
<p>Made using mainly linen, cotton and silk, Mayaland’s luxurious wraps and ponchos—which look like the type of thing you want to put on and never, ever take off—also feature local-inspired motifs such as embroidered armadillos, adding an element of whimsy to the richly textured fabrics. Fernandez also spearheads a mobile fashion lab, called Taller Flora, which travels around Mexico to set up workshops with indigenous communities and promote local craftsmanship.</p>
<p><strong>Charini</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://ecosalon.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/Charini.png"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-135333" src="http://ecosalon.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/Charini.png" alt="" width="455" height="479" /></a></p>
<p>Sri Lankan born and educated both in her home country and the London College of Fashion, lingerie designer Charini Suriyage makes uber sophisticated lingerie that simultaneously empowers the women who make it. By hiring local craftsmen who are trained in various heritage textile techniques—such hand silk weaving, embroidery, and Sri Lankan beeralu—Charini attempts to prevent the decline of these traditional industries in her home nation.</p>
<p>The production and manufacturing of lingerie is generally a very wasteful process; intricate fabric patterns and piece-meal designs tend to leave behind lots of scraps. To combat this, Charini’s pieces are designed to have a minimum number of components and any waste is re-incorporated into production. Sourcing all her materials from within Sri Lanka and avoiding all elastic, plastic, metal and harmful dyes in her pieces, Charini also manages to design shape wear that you would most definitely want someone to see at the end of the day.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.michdulce.com">Mich Dulce</a></strong></p>
<p><a href="http://ecosalon.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/Mich-Dulce.png"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-135341" src="http://ecosalon.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/Mich-Dulce.png" alt="" width="455" height="311" /></a></p>
<p>Filipino born and based milliner Mich Dulce makes hats that are fit for a British wedding out of a material that is entirely foreign to northern latitudes: t’nalak. Made from hand woven banana fibers, this material is an integral part of the indigenous T’boli tribe’s heritage, and Dulce uses it in part to revive this area of craftsmanship. Partnering with a local poverty alleviation group to hire disadvantaged women in her area, Dulce—who studied at London’s Central Saint Martin’s and New York’s Fashion Institute of Technology—said imbuing her designs with a humanitarian ethos is fundamental to her work.</p>
<p>The earthy feel of the hats’ natural banana fibers balances out the structural shapes—including elaborate bows, bunny-like ears, flowers and clovers—and bright colors such as fuchsia and burnt orange. Her creations are at once feminine and tough, and we wouldn’t mind owning each and every one.</p>

<p><em>British sustainable label Rapanui brings eco-fashion to sea by staging the first-ever fashion show held aboard a commuter hovercraft.</em></p>
<p>I&#8217;ve seen fashion shows in many strange places, but never on a hovercraft. Probably because it had never been done, until this past week when <a title="EcoSalon: ‘Shwopping’ is Chic: Marks &amp; Spencer’s Sustainable Fashion Launch" href="http://ecosalon.com/shwopping-is-chic-marks-spencers-sustainable-fashion-launch/" target="_blank">British sustainable fashion</a> label Rapanui staged a guerilla-style fashion show on the Isle of Wight ferry crossing.</p>

<p>The show, which was held in advance of London Fashion Week, was a collaboration between the award-winning eco-fashion brand and Hovertravel, the company that operates the high-speed energy-efficient hovercraft crossing service across the Solent, from the Island to Southsea.</p>
<p><a href="http://ecosalon.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/EcoSalon-RapanuiHovercraftShow3.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-134658" title="EcoSalon-RapanuiHovercraftShow3" src="http://ecosalon.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/EcoSalon-RapanuiHovercraftShow3.jpg" alt="" width="455" height="320" /></a></p>
<p>&#8220;Rapanui are a great eco-friendly clothing brand based on the Isle of Wight,&#8221; Loretta Lale, commercial and marketing manager of Hovertravel, says of the collaboration. &#8220;We are always keen to work with local businesses from the Island, especially ones that aim to make a genuine contribution to sustainability.&#8221;</p>
<p><a href="http://ecosalon.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/EcoSalon-RapanuiHovercraftShow4.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-134659" title="EcoSalon-RapanuiHovercraftShow4" src="http://ecosalon.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/EcoSalon-RapanuiHovercraftShow4.jpg" alt="" width="455" height="320" /></a></p>
<p>The ship&#8217;s crew &#8211; turned catwalk models for a day &#8211; showcased the 2012 collection by walking down the aisles of the Hovercraft during its regular 8am crossing, surprising the hundreds of commuters onboard. The collection consists of casualwear made from organic cotton in an ethically accredited, wind-powered factory. <a title="Goodlifer:  Rapanui – Setting a Standard for Sustainability &amp; Traceability in Fashion" href="http://www.goodlifer.com/2012/04/rapanui-setting-a-standard-for-sustainability-traceability-in-fashion/" target="_blank">Rapanui is also known for the award winning traceability and eco-labeling schemes</a> the company has developed for their clothing.</p>

<p>Rob Drake-Knight, co-founder of Rapanui said: &#8220;We were really excited to bring fashion week to the Island in such a quirky way, giving the commuters a taste of the catwalk in their seats as we crossed Solent.&#8221;</p>
<p>It&#8217;s unclear what the commuters thought about the show, but one thing is for sure, they spent some time thinking about sustainability and fashion that day. Who knows what kind of effect small disruptive interventions like this can have? We&#8217;d like to see more of it, and we&#8217;re looking at you, <a title="EcoSalon: Infographic: In the Spirit of (Pre)New York Fashion Week" href="http://ecosalon.com/infographic-in-the-spirit-of-prenew-york-fashion-week/" target="_blank">New York Fashion Week</a>.</p>

<p><em>Sustainable fashion forgoes the runway this fashion week season.</em></p>
<p>Whether you subscribe to the increasingly popular <a href="http://ecosalon.com/we-can-all-afford-to-slow-down/">slow fashion</a> diet, it&#8217;s likely that the adrenaline-pumping rush of runway fashion shows still whet your appetite for some saucy people-watching and a sprinkling of sartorial novelty. Front-row celebs and A-list models tottering on impossible heels are quite possibly the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bread_and_circuses">Bread and Circuses</a> of our time, but with fashion weeks coming to a conclusion here in Europe, it is welcome news that everyone can finally return home and reflect inwardly on future fashion ‘needs.&#8217;</p>
<p>New York, London, Milan, and now <a href="http://www.modeaparis.com/">Paris this week</a>, are indisputably about high-octane performances staged on the catwalk, with a few <a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/lifeandstyle/2011/feb/25/john-galliano-suspended-by-dior">designer tantrums</a> thrown in for added controversy. Thankfully, one redeeming trend gaining momentum during the recent Fall 2011 shows was the <strong>increase in fashion installations and collaborative art films</strong>. Sustainable fashion has particularly embraced this strategy, perhaps because of the strong narrative component and the possibility to literally <strong>slow things down</strong> for editors, retailers, and fashion lovers who want to fully inspect and comprehend new concepts in the pipeline.</p><div id="inContentContiner"><!-- /4450967/ES-In-Content -->

<p>During <a href="http://www.londonfashionweek.co.uk/">London Fashion Week</a> both <a href="http://www.christopherraeburn.co.uk/">Christopher Raeburn</a> and <a href="http://www.adaz.co.uk/">Ada Zanditon</a> created quite a stir with their creative alternatives to the catwalk spectacle. Raeburn, who has been generating a steady stream of in-store fashion installation projects during the past year, positioned his street-savvy models in niches of the abandoned Aldwych tube station, suggesting that upcycling in fashion might now need to incorporate dead-stock urban zones as well.</p>

<p><em><a href="http://www.vogue.co.uk/blogs/the-green-style-blog/110225-ada-zanditons-london-fashion-week.aspx">Ada Zanditon Fall 2011 Cryoflux presentation</a> and film showing at On/Off in London</em></p>
<p>Ethical fashion superstar <a href="http://www.adaz.co.uk/">Ada Zanditon</a> similarly opted for a posse of sustainably clad mannequins and the multi-media debut of her Cryoflux art film at the Mercer Street Studios On/Off  venue during London Fashion Week.  Co-directed by Andrew and William Ho, the film’s narrative  portrays ”a beautiful alien who evolves under the ice of Europa (one of Jupiter&#8217;s moons) and then comes to earth to visit Antarctica in the middle of the dark barren winter, “ as Ada decoded for Vogue.com UK.</p>
<p><a href="http://ecosalon.com/wp-content/uploads/ada-zanditon-cryoflux-ice.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-73198" src="http://ecosalon.com/wp-content/uploads/ada-zanditon-cryoflux-ice.jpg" alt="" width="455" height="303" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.vogue.co.uk/blogs/the-green-style-blog/110225-ada-zanditons-london-fashion-week.aspx">Ada Zanditon&#8217;s Cryoflux installation</a> with her own design preserved in ice</p>
<p>This is not the first time that Zanditon has artfully melded themes of <a href="http://www.vogue.co.uk/blogs/the-green-style-blog/101103-ada-zanditon-spring-summer-2011-collection.aspx">extreme landscapes </a>and fragile climatic states into her collections. A two-meter high ice sculpture was a focal point of the Cryoflux installation with one of her latest designs preserved in the frozen matter. This standing room only fashion event allowed the designer to tell her complex story in a manner that the runway just does not afford. She was even seen toting her iPad around so that editors and buyers might see the Cryoflux film in more detail while Zanditon added her own personal commentary and sartorial spin.</p>

<p><em>Attendees get a hands-on look at <a href="http://fashionversusart.blogspot.com/2009/11/history-of-runway.html">London Fashion Week in 1926</a></em></p>
<p>Perhaps it is no surprise that sustainable fashion designers are leading this campaign to provide more engaging and interactive formats for fashion week presentations. The history of the runway is a bit sketchy, although we know that Parisians hosted ‘fashion parades’ in 19<sup>th</sup> century France, a phenomenon that was adopted in the early part of the 20<sup>th</sup> century in America by department stores like Wanamaker’s who needed to more enticingly feature designs for women. Is it possible that we have come full circle now as designers seek to <strong>better engage their audience in a dialogue</strong> regarding fashion concerns of the moment and the process behind and the impact of our clothes?</p>
<p><a href="http://ecosalon.com/wp-content/uploads/John-Patrick-Organic-Fall11.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-73177" src="http://ecosalon.com/wp-content/uploads/John-Patrick-Organic-Fall11.jpg" alt="" width="455" height="304" /></a></p>
<p><em>John Patrick makes adjustments at his <a href="http://skylightnyc.com/blog/2011/02/12/organic-fashion-at-west/">ORGANIC Fall 2011 presentation</a></em></p>
<p>Flashback to New York Fashion Week in early February where <a href="http://www.johnpatrickorganic.com/">John Patrick ORGANIC</a> breaks new ground by showing his ‘<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&amp;v=OQAXby9OQm0">Organic source map’ film</a> that demonstrates how select garments for his Fall 2011 collection were sourced and sustainably and locally made. It was pure poetry to see a film like this during a high profile fashion week presentation, as well as proving that we could actually handle the real substance of ORGANIC’s collection so beautifully presented on his fresh-faced and ethnically diverse models. The lesson learned? Educating editors, buyers, and  fashion followers can be engaging in ways that are multi-faceted and not as linear and cryptic as the catwalk.</p>
<p><a href="http://ecosalon.com/wp-content/uploads/study-ny-fall2011.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-73181" src="http://ecosalon.com/wp-content/uploads/study-ny-fall2011.jpg" alt="" width="455" height="422" /></a></p>
<p><em>STUDY NY Fall 2011 presentation in the High Line Room of the Standard Hotel, NYC</em></p>
<p><strong>Tara St. James</strong> of <a href="http://4equalsides.com/">STUDY NY</a> also gave us a nourishing lesson in chic though approachable fashion during her <a href="http://ecosalon.com/new-york-fashion-week-with-gretchen-jones/">Fall 2011 schoolroom presentation</a> in the High Line Room at the Standard Hotel in NYC. An apple a day keeps things organic in theory, but it was this designer&#8217;s focus on zero-waste methods, artisanal collaborative production, and experimentation with the latest sustainable fabrics, that schooled viewers about sustainability in a transparent though seductive manner.</p>
<p><a href="http://ecosalon.com/wp-content/uploads/kma-white-milan-01.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-73184" src="http://ecosalon.com/wp-content/uploads/kma-white-milan-01.jpg" alt="" width="455" height="341" /></a></p>
<p><em>km/a&#8217;s installation at <a href="http://www.whiteshow.it/">WHITE</a> &#8216;s concept space, Via Tortona in Milan</em></p>
<p>One of my favorite art fashion installations from Milan Fashion Week’s <a href="http://www.whiteshow.it/">WHITE</a> trade show was <a href="http://www.kmamode.com/">km/a studio</a>’s latest textile wearables displayed in the concept basement at Via Tortona. Devoid of models but all about the surface design and topography of textile recycling and the beauty of fashion as sculpture, km/a’s Fall 2011 collection advocates cool minimalism while also providing us with a good story to get wrapped up in. Perhaps it is this underground deviation from protocol and the inherent message that the clothes themselves convey that will define the future of fashion week shows and collections. Models as hangers is evidently no longer enough to go on as a barometer for how we want to parade or fashion ourselves, sustainably or otherwise.</p>

<p>The tag line for the Ethical Fashion Shows hosted in Paris reads, &#8220;Notre but: prouver que la mode ethique peut etre a la fois tendance et parteuse de benefices sociaux et environmentaux.&#8221; For those of you who are scrambling to remember French vocabulary from high school, they&#8217;ve basically stated that their goal is to show that fashion can be trendy while still being ethical, environmental and socially responsible. Sounds like a good goal, non?</p>
<p>What&#8217;s better is that the Ethical Fashion Shows presented very wearable collections in the four day trade show with live catwalks. Hosted in the new <a href="http://www.paris-docks-en-seine.fr/?lang=fr">Docks en Seine</a> building, which is quite a new age architectural marvel itself, the design on design aesthetic worked well, affording designers the space to create interesting and artful exhibits.</p>

<p>With over thirty different designers exhibiting, here are but a few that made my short list:</p>
<ul>
<li>A &amp; K Classics</li>
<li>Ciel</li>
<li><a href="http://ethosparis.com/">Ethos Paris</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.shifumi-collections.com/home.html">Shifumi</a></li>
<li><a href="http://ute-auwarter.com/menu.html">Ute Auwarter</a></li>
</ul>
<p>Differing from the <a href="http://ecosalon.com/ecosalon-exclusives-nyfw-spring-2011-highlights-day-2-the-green-shows/">Green Shows in New York</a> &#8211; the <a href="http://ecosalon.com/ecosalon-exclusives-london-fashion-week-ss-2011-estethica/">Estethica</a> exhibit and <a href="http://ecosalon.com/london-fashion-week-ss-2011-fashion-highlights/">Sustainable Show during London Fashion Week</a> &#8211; the Ethical Fashion Shows were much more intimate with an educational element. Even the program held information regarding what constitutes an ethical piece of clothing, which was brilliant!</p>
<p><a href="http://ecosalon.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/efs_1.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-58004" src="http://ecosalon.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/efs_1.jpg" alt=- width="455" height="455" /></a></p>
<p>All in all it was a wonderful introduction to not only the local Parisian ethical designers, but many from Peru, India and other parts of Europe. I am confident that as the Ethical Fashion Shows develop, their fashion capital of the world host &#8211; Paris &#8211; will push their ambiance and presentation forward while keeping the educational segment in tact.</p>

<p>Attending the <a href="http://www.adaz.co.uk/">Ada Zanditon</a> show was similar to partaking in an archeologist&#8217;s hunt for Egyptian treasures. Even the invitation for the event came in an origami asymmetrical pyramid &#8211; alluding to the theme and inspiration behind the designer&#8217;s spring/summer 2011 collection.</p>
<p>An award-winning and highly acclaimed ethical designer, Ada Zanditon is no stranger to <a href="http://www.londonfashionweek.co.uk/content.aspx?CategoryID=523">London Fashion Week&#8217;s Estethica</a>. This year, she reserved a spot in the Estethica exhibit, as well as putting on an informal runway presentation.</p>

<p>Her signature style &#8211; aligned with architecture and intellectual design &#8211; was present throughout. Fusing geometrical shapes from the pyramids and  more delicate prints from coral reefs, The Pyramora Collection holds a powerful balance between structure and flow.</p>

<p>It is usually challenging to fully respond to spring/summer collections as we are just entering into the winter season, but at this year&#8217;s London Fashion Week S/S 11 sustainable fashion hit a new high note that transcended temperatures. For the first time ever, LFW gave eco-fashion its own show &#8211; <a href="http://ecosalon.com/london-fashion-week-ss-2011-the-sustainable-show/">The Sustainable Show</a>. Designers as well known as Stella McCartney all the way to industry leaders like People Tree showcased their fashion in a collaborative presentation. Prophetik&#8217;s designer <a href="http://ecosalon.com/london-fashion-week-spring-2011-prophetik-rocks-my-world/">Jeff Garner</a> held his own star-studded show, providing one of the best runway shows of the week. Finally, Parisian designer Ada Zanditon wrapped the week up with a show at the On/Off exhibit, and a new title as INNOVATION&#8217;s Fairtrade cotton category winner.</p>
