The Rebirth of Cool - Viridian
Green Style
by E.Haase
"Green" is an oft
used buzz word in the fashion industry, however, just because
a company is not employing a 3rd-world sweat shop labor force
or burning rain forests to produce cheap clothing does not mean
they are "green".
Indeed, many clothiers are labeling themselves "green"
& selling their products at higher mark-ups for having such
distinctions. But who is really green & who's Greenwashing?
Here's a hint: If the manufacturer sells cotton that is not organic,
then they are not "Green". Non-organic cotton is one
of the most pesticide-intensive crops grown.
A larger problem that may prevent bhigher sales
of earth friendly clothing is the lack of contemporary style choices
& any popular high fashion designers hanging organic cotton
clothing or green couture on top models strutting the cat walks
of Paris & New York. I say Enough with the baggy hemp shirts,
shorts, sandals & hippy clothing.. If environmentally conscious
clothing is going to catch on, it's going to have to get some
fashion consciousness.
While it's great that
many clothing & textile manufacturers are joining modern civility
by no longer exploiting a poverty stricken 3rd-world work force,
C2 seeks
to find designers & clothiers who are making a fashion statement
by designing attractive clothing made from innovative, organic
fibers, low impact dyes, manufactured in advanced, eco-conscious
factories, by a labor force that is treated under socially responsible
guidelines. This fulfills a more full sense of what it means to
be green.
At C2,
we want to go one step further into Viridian
Greenism & seek the best designers. Hippie-centric styles
only preach environmentalism to the converted. It is the broad
consumer base that needs to be reached to make meaningful impacts.
Therefore, we demand clothing that makes people feel good because
they know their clothing is not being manufactured at grievous
expense to the either biosphere or workforce. However, we Viridians,
also desire higher-than-fashion, pragmatic, futuristic, techno-cultural,
'urban attack-wear'... Seductive, apparell that can be donned
anywhere... From nightclub to office to skatepark. We need gear
that can keep up with all the phases of modern life, including
a place to hold our wireless devices & I-pods.. (such is the
"EveryWear" & "Wear For Art Thou" clothing
I've designed).
Viridian PermaPunks
know that we no longer need to shock the bourgeoisie with our
clothing.. We need to be able to move among them invisibly as
we advance our agenda to rise out of the filth of the 20th century
& satisfy needs that current systems are not effectively fulfilling.
The current Western system is still mostly a 20th century, industrial
revolution relic that fulfills desires at a price too high for
the biosphere to sustain.. A price which leaves this generation
with the task of re-designing the global climate so that our offspring
don't live with the aesthetically regrettable consequence of baking
to death amidst a century's worth of trash & noxious gas.
Design engineers are needed for this REVELution.We
seek a bloodless REVELlution, because war takes away from leisure
& requires a uniform that is not our own..
