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! We&#8217;re not making dungarees. We&#8217;re in the business of fashion! But with initiatives like FutureFashion, leaders in the [...]]]></description>

By Tim Rohde

The &#8220;disposable society&#8221; is taking a well-deserved beating from more and more people these days. The scourge of our environment, our pocketbooks and our souls may be headed, itself, for the dustbin of history. The forces pushing back against the disposable society come from some familiar and some surprising origins. The ecological imperative [...]]]></description>

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>

The Great Food Debate: Romance vs. Reality
By Jennifer Iannolo

There is a certain romance in strolling a farmers market on a Saturday morning. Stalls overflow with the colors and textures of the season, from summers luscious reds and velvety greens to the autumnal harbingers of orange and yellow.
