A Return To Nature Or A New Dawn In Fashion?

Alba 02 / site specific installation in rural Italy by Abigail Doan

I am so honored to be a part of a transformative dialogue on EcoSalon this week in an article written by Amy DuFault for her five part series on the post-recession fashion industry. In this latest installment, Amy asks the important question, "Now more than ever, is eco-fashion inextricably linked to conscious connections with land and place?" Follow this trail for an inspiring read and some valuable insight into fashioning the future and a new dawn in our connectedness with the environment and identity.

Feral Childe Trunkshow at Shift Boutique in Hyannis This Weekend

Preview of Feral Childe's Winter 2010: The Lightening Fields Collection

I love how the realms of art and eco fashion are so energized these days by creative synergy from individuals in deep pockets of the American landscape. Sustainable fashion offerings are no longer exclusive to urban settings, as style savvy venues like Shift Boutique in Hyannis, Massachusetts or Mission Savvy in Charleston, West Virginia dig in locally to offer the best eco fashion brands to their communities.

Feral Childe's 'The Hills Are Alive' Collection

This weekend Amy Dufault and Amanda Converse of Shift will host Alice Wu and Moriah Carlson of Feral Childe for an evening of shopping and eco fashion chat. This will also be a great opportunity to pre-order from Feral Childe's 'Winter 2010: The Lightening Fields' collection, and if anyone can guess the real reason the line is called 'Feral Childe', Shift will offer 20% off purchases made that evening.
