Portland Fashion Week is set to launch another season of sustainable fashions from October 19-24. Portlanders will be able to watch as local favorites like Anna Cohen, with her moda italiana take on green fashion, and LeAnimal, winner of the 2007 Portland Mercury sustainable fashion show, mix it up on the runway with Nike’s new “Considered” line, and ranks of others.
This week will embrace the innovative departure that leading large and independent labels are making to embrace sustainable practices. The growing trend toward green fashion has revealed that designers must be just as innovative in their approach to materials as they are to aesthetics if their work is to continue to inspire the public. Now in it's third year, the PFW will bring us closer to exorcising the tie-dyed ghosts of green fashion past.
