Good day!

My brain has been buzzing from reading so much about eco design and eco fashion that I found myself getting sucked right into it!

In the beginning of May Time Magazine featured the top 100 environmentally conscious designers. The article featured many well known designers across all fields of design, including fashion design of course. Give it a read!

On the subject of sustainability I have to agree with a statement made in the IBM Innovation Jam 2008 that goes something like this…

Instead of trying to heal the world, why don’t we let the earth heal itself? The earth is a living entity and just as our bodies take care of themselves it should be able to reverse the damage we as parasites have caused it.

The influence that fashion designers such as Stella McCartney have on the rest of the world is huge. We need more opinion leaders in the world doing their bit to lessen damage caused to the earth and get fashion and art involved in the process. Yes, the fact remains that the damage has already been done, but decreasing our generation’s damage to the environment is never going to be underrated in the eyes of our children.

I have come to realise, though (after all the fuss) that simply being alive has an immediate effect on our environment and I don’t know about you, but this makes me feel pretty morbid! Seeing cool t-shirt designs on Springleap.com that feature concerns about the earth’s situation lifts my spirit again though!What are your views?

Have a fantastic day!
