WHITE APRICOT’S BEST OF FASHION IN 2008
Our Picks for the Top Eco Friendly Clothing Designers We Covered This Year
by Carrie Pollare, Editor
Wow, has the eco fashion business come a long way over the past year. It seems like only yesterday, we were struggling to find fashion forward sustainable designers to write about. Now, we have an abundance of very talented artists, all using eco and recycled materials and changing the face of eco friendly fashion as we know it. As 2008 draws to a close, we thought we’d ring it out with our picks for the year’s top eco fashion designers.
