By Marisa D&#8217;Vari
What music would go best with this wine? As incredible as it sounds, the marketing folks at Wente Winery are drawing people to their winery by creating fun events exploring the connection between wine and popular music. These events are quickly turned into audio and video downloads available [...]]]></description>

Eco-Fabrics: Balancing Fashion and Ideals
By Susan and Yves Gagnon
The demand for eco-friendly fashions has skyrocketed. When we founded SYKA Textiles, most North American designers were skeptical that the concepts &#8220;fashionable&#8221; and &#8220;eco-friendly&#8221; could coexist. Perish the idea!

The Consumption Crisis
By Deborah J. C. Brosdahl
Sustainability requires a long-term outlook that encourages responsible consumption. Fashion, it seems, is fundamentally at odds with this goal. Perhaps apparel can be made sustainably, but fashion? Fashion is more than a product; fashion is a mode of thought. It affects everything from design to purchasing to obsolescence, and [...]]]></description>
