One of the biggest topics of conversation around the ethical fashion water cooler these days is this: why does all ethical fashion look the same? Whitney Bauck at Fashionista wrote a great piece on this last week. In her article, Whitney talks about the consequences of ethical fashion subscribing to a single aesthetic, most notably, [...]
Can they really go #alldamnday? Earlier this month, Everlane released its brand new Day Boot, cousin of the popular Day Heel, Day Glove, and Day Mule.

Fashion For Good is an Amsterdam based company that defines itself as "a global initiative to make all fashion good." They're all about using innovation and collaboration to make lasting changes in fashion that [...]
