energy and society - lab school: Vogue Magazine

Tuesday, March 25, 2008

For my project, I recently decided to do it on how people are going "green" in the media. There is a big spotlight on going green now from go green bags to hybrid cars that are better for the environment. I found a whole issue on this on the vogue magazine website that was published spring of last year.

and an interesting article called "A Convenient Untruth" by Michael Shnayerson

Another interesting thing that I found in Fortune Magazine was a list of major coporate companies that are trying to go green.

While I love the fashion world is catching on to being eco-friendly, I question their sincerity. When the fashion world says they’re “going green” it means they’ll start adding cotton products into their Spring lines. Their idea of going green hardly makes a dent in the mess we’ve already made. The production methods at which they create high end garment are not “green”; they don’t incorporate any alternative to transportation which is where the rake up the most pollution. As well, fashions die meaning the “green” fad will too. I can safely say that no one dares to put on a pair of bell bottoms anymore. Thus, it safe to say that black will not be fully replaced anytime soon.; March 25, 2008 at 8:34 PM
Lindsay said...: Hey Daphnee, I know you wanted to do your project on eco - friendly fashions. Recently the following high end fashion lines have turned green with much success (meaning without the quality and prices of their lines declining). This lines are Loomstate Denim, Linda Loudermilk, Cri de Coeur and Mociun. I hope this helps you some...; March 27, 2008 at 6:23 PM
