New York Fashion Week
Every spring and fall, the well-heeled crowd hits New York for one of the largest and most prestigious fashion events of the industry, Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week. And the good news is sustainable fashion offerings are on the rise, both on and off the runway.
From innovative recycled materials saved from landfill to organic cotton produced without the chemicals or environmental pollution to production that also benefits workers in struggling countries, big-name designers are venturing into new realms to create beautiful and socially conscious clothing.
Our writers are hot on the scene, delivering exclusive coverage on the best green fashion of the season.
