I had a chance this past April to swing by the Cornell Textiles & Fashion School and give a talk on sustainable fashion. Students are a good gauge as to how information is being dispersed and what effect it is having because they are more informed than the average person, but the information is obtained in drastically different ways.

This is one parrot's quest for ethical fashion. Year after year he comes back to Paris for the premiere event on all things eco and stylish - The Ethical Fashion Show. This year was no exception. What does Lord B have to say? He gives it two talons up.

More to come...

Ethical Fashion Show® Paris will showcase over seventy designers from all five continents that present fashion which is respectful of man and the environment. Among new countries featured this year: Australia, Afghanistan, Austria and Laos.

This year again, the event will renew the recipe which made the previous years a resounding success : showrooms, animations, catwalk shows, as well as conferences focusing on different topics related to social and environmental responsibility for companies operating in the textile industry.

Ethical Fashion Show® Paris is originally aimed at professionals and media, but the organizers plan to make the event open to the general public on one of the days (Sunday 14th).

Ethical Fashion Show® Paris will take place at the Tapis Rouge, one of Paris' prestigious fashion locations. The original Parisian department store was built in 1784, and is in the heart of Paris, close to the train stations Gare de l'Est and Gare du Nord.
