It was bound to happen.  Barneys went “green” at the end of last year for the holidays and now Saks Fifth Avenue has just launched a “Green House.” Yes, this leader in the fashion retail industry has decided to dedicate a section of their website to promoting those designers who keep both people and the planet looking their best.

It’s actually quite cool when you think about it.  Some eco friendly designers are now eco chic enough to land in trendy mainstream shopping venues. You’ll find clothing, accessories, beauty products and more from some of our favorite designers, including EDUN (), Beau Soleil (), Song, Loomstate and Alex and Ani. There is also a featured “must-have” item, a spotlight on a particular designer, and a section called “learn,” seemingly designed to educate about worthy causes. And, since this green house is online and therefore humidity free, you can browse without worrying that your hair will frizz. www.saksfifthavenue.com.
