Ethical Fashion Show: 2006
by Kyeann Sayer, Nomad on 10.11.06
On the heels of Paris Fashion Week, the third annual Ethical Fashion Show (EFS) will feature over 60 designers from around the globe at primo locale Tapis Rouge starting Friday, October 13! What does "ethical" mean here? Well-treated workers, minimal eco-impact, and involved designers and producers. Next week, we'll fill you in on brands to look out for, and air the voices of up and coming conscience-laden designers on TreeHugger Radio! Also: we'll show you Umbrella Inside Out fashion competition winner Rainer Wolter's completed dress, which will grace the couture show's runway on Friday evening. After that, it's three days of feel-good round tables, exhibitions and showrooms. If you're in the industry, passes are available at the door starting Saturday morning. On Sunday, the general public is welcome. Don't forget to tune in to The Lazy Environmentalist this week for more on the show, with participating designers Annie Langlois and Deborah Lindquist as well as yours truly. More soon! ::Ethical Fashion Show

I do not believe a true blue fashionista would ever set for Ethical Fashion. Fashion is about beauty, even if it might be less human than it could be. Beauty is a strong weapon, and there might be victims on its way - sad, but true.
Ethical Fashion is about beauty, too! Why should beauty and fashion and style be inhuman or unfriendly to nature? I totally support the ideas of the Show!
