He thinks it is so cool how the silk dress is dyed by earth and potatoes.

Lord B. coiffed and poised on the EFS Posters. Stay tuned for Paris' Next Top Parrot.

With three floors of ethical fashion, Lord B had his work cut out for him.
(He mainly hung out with the ladies backstage though).

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...

NBC 1: Eco-Fashion - The Word on the Street

0 comments Published Sunday, October 21, 2007 by SROmgmt.

I was recently interviewed by NBC 1 for their eco-fashion segment. The Channel is focused on teens, so I love how they got a bunch of students in on the conversation. In this interview I'm sporting a bamboo knit top by Avita and organic cotton jeans by Loomstate.

There's been a lot of oddities and goodies happening in and around the "green" fashion scene as of late. I had the opportunity to participate in 4 ethical fashion shows this year and a host of great cause-related programs.

Check out my Top 10 List of the latest gossip, cool events, and personal vignettes I've come across during my travels for this past September's feature at grist.org and I'll be sure to give you the scoop on all the shows.

Check out images of Seattle Fashion week here and here, which featured looks from Future Fashion, Thieves, Sling&Stones, Lizzie Parker, and others. Ekovaruhuset also hit off the stage in the Norwegian House in NYC. Ethical Fashion Show (Paris) images to come at a later date.
