“The fashion industry tends to attract people with serious personality defects. They just want to be rich and famous. But at some point you have to decide: Are you going to mindlessly go the easy way or are you going to go the ethical way?”
The 2008 Sustainable Style Show
This landmark event raised consumer awareness around fairly traded, locally and ethically produced products, as well as those made from sustainable materials. With the rise of environmental consciousness, we have witnessed an increased effort to make smarter shopping choices, yet "greenwashing" has created confusion around what is truly sustainable.
All our vendors met at least two of our set criteria in order to be a part of this show, ensuring that guests were presented with truly sustainable options.
The Sustainable Style Show is a one-stop shop for those looking to put their wallet where their heart is, for the planet. And with the onset of the holiday season, our vendors are excited to be selling a variety of products that cater to all lifestyles and budgets.
Presenting Sponsor Samsung, committed to environmentally sustainable business practices, accepted old cell phones at their booth for proper recycling. Recycling cell phones reduces greenhouse gas emissions, keeps valuable material out of landfills and incinerators, and conserves natural resources. Be sure to bring your old cell phone in for safe and environmentally friendly disposal.
