Holiday Spotlight: It's Party Time

Our absolute favorite part of the holidays is dressing up! All the different parties and get togethers between now and New Year's mean we need a few different looks to get us through the end of the year.

If your closet could use a few new additions - items that will last past the party and serve you well into 2009 - Fashion Ethic has the best in ethical dresses with a conscience. All are fair labor/sweatshop-free and designed using eco-friendly fabrics and flattering silhouettes.

Rocking the "Runway" at Sole Repair Shop

Thanks to all the lovely Seattle girls who came out tonight on Capital Hill as Girl Power Hour went green/eco/sustainable...Here at Fashion Ethic, we say Darnell and Samantha are officially "Fashionably Responsible" for putting on such a great event. The evening was a blur of eco-conscious tips and sustainable styles and Fashion Ethic was happy to be a part of it.

Thanks also to those of you who came by with well wishes. We shut the place down, there were so many people to talk to! And to the fabulous models who helped showcase spring dresses and jewelry from Fashion Ethic - thanks again! You guys rock!

Carnegie Hall Fashion - Re!nvented

One of our favorite eco-chic designers, Ms. Nina Valenti of naturevsfuture, recently teamed up with TerraCycle to design a stunning concert gown made of...trash.

The dress was created of over 6,000 used and misprinted drink pouches and will make its public debut as world-renowned concert pianist Soyeon Lee makes her debut at Carnegie Hall February 19.

The evening's theme is "Re!nvented," featuring musical pieces that have been reused in some way, which inspired the pianist to wear a gown that would reinforce this theme.

TerraCycle; known for bottling their fertilizer in reused pop bottles; is now accepting used drink pouches like those used in Nina's dress, in an effort to help divert the four billion non-recycleable pouches that otherwise go to landfills in America each year.

Check out Nina's more day-to-day creations at Fashion Ethic - the recycled fleece dress or jacket, organic wool tunic, or the contrast sweaterjacket - all are work appropriate...if your job doesn't happen to demand an appearance at Carnegie Hall ;)

Get Your Cozy On

Even though Spring arrivals start next week, we're reminded that in most parts of the country it is still mid-winter. In fact, it snowed here today and the biting-cold January weather makes us want to cozy up in this adorable coat from Peligrosa Knits or the organic wool sweater from naturevsfuture.

The gorgeous blue coat from Peligrosa is tailored, yet the boiled wool stretches with you, so you feel like you're wearing a sweater...even though you look like a million bucks. And isn't that exactly what you need when you're trying to look cool but keep warm?

This naturevsfuture contrast sweater is one of our best sellers at Fashion Ethic. Everyone who tries it on LOVES it! Speaking of looking like a million bucks, this little miracle worker is sleek and instantly slimming, thanks to the genius styling of designer Nina Valenti. The sleeves are cut extra long, with a 'thumbhole' for keeping your wrists warm, and the collar can be worn up or down, depending on the wind chill factor.

Did we mention they both happen to be marked-down as part of Fashion Ethic's In Season Sale? Non? Well, what are you waiting for?! Quantites and sizes are limited!
