Cool as in Hip!
Did you ever think "sustainable fashion" would be considered cool? Or hip? Trendy? "It"-ish? (Okay, so I just made up that last one...) Me either. I am still tickled and a little in awe of being included in Phoenix Magazine's "Cool Issue 2009" and its cover story "33 of the Hippest People, Places and Things in the Valley". I'm lucky number 7 on the list. ONe of the main reasons I'm glad to be included on this particular list is because I think the fashion biz in general puts a lot of icky stuff (to use the technical terms...) into the environment for rather mindless reasons. Plus, it generally speaking doesn't treat the folks who make the stuff all that well. (I recall reading something about "sweatshops"....) And aren' t we lucky that green fashion doesn't mean burlap anymore?
