Clean fresh water is easy to take for granted here in the US, but in other parts of the world people, usually children, must walk miles to find a water source - one that may not always be safe. According to UNICEF, nearly 6,000 children a day actually die from thirst or a water-related disease. It is up to all of us to talk about it and help make the change.

Oh, I know most retailers wouldn't talk up another shop to their customers, but our philosophy at Fashion Ethic is that eco-friendly and socially responsible fashion is the industry's destiny. So we're more than happy to let you know when other stores (especially big chains) start adding ethical fashion.The latest to add a "green" line is Banana Republic, which is launching a 50-piece eco-friendly collection on April 8. According to Womens Wear Daily, the collection will use sustainable bamboo fabric and organic cotton, identifiable by the green elephant icon on the tag (in honor of Banana's Safari, Jeep-in-the-store roots, perhaps?).
PLUS, among other ongoing "greening initiatives," Banana Republic will donate 1% of all in-store sales (up to $100,000) to Trust for Public Lands from April 22 to 27.
No word on where the clothing is manufactured, but kudos to Banana Republic for taking these steps in the right direction! And kudos to those conscious shoppers out there who are demanding better choices in fashion. Soon ethical fashion will be the rule, rather than the exception.
At Fashion Ethic we strive to buy on trend, but with a mindful eye towards pieces that will last you once that trend has come and gone.For this season's Safari looks, start with one of Ryann's bamboo tops as your base. These soft-but-durable ivory garments have fantastic drape and lend effortless sophistication to any outfit.
Adorn yourself with natural jewelry like our Kukui Seed necklace or Coconut bracelets. They'll lend a safari/tribal air to anything you pair them with - and are certainly budget friendly!
Lastly, for a luxe-safari feel (the type of trip where you partake in a cocktail at the lodge as the sun sets over the savannah), nothing could be better than the "Alison" dress by Sublet in natural. This remarkable dress hits on the grecian pleating trend, the dress trend, and the safari look - all in one well-priced piece...talk about sustainable style!
