Fashion Profile | Eileen Fisher

As stated on the company's website:    ONLY 66% OF WHAT YOU SEE HERE IS SUSTAINABLE. THAT'S GOING TO CHANGE. NO EXCUSES. The dress is bluesign® certified silk. The jeans are made with organic cotton. And the cardigan? It's one of our Icons, made with fine-gauge linen. The fiber isn't organic this season, but it will be. And by 2020, if the linen is conventionally grown we won't use it.This isn't a perfect picture, but it's an accurate one. We know there's still work to be done. No excuses. In my search in finding sustainable brands, I stumbled upon an ad for Eileen Fisher and their Vision 2020 initiative. This is the first fashion company I have come across with this type of initiative. This is definitely a brand I will keep an eye on to see if they are able to accomplish their goal. Eileen Fisher's vision is in tune to what I feel fashion retail companies should be doing specifically in regards to addressing their social, ethic

By unknown. Woo! I have completed my first year of grad school! That is all I really have as my excuse for the lack of posting. It really did consume my life for the semester. I am going to do absolutely nothing for the next week....and see how long it'll take before I go crazy. I have learned so much during my first year, so I need to get cracking on more informative fashion posts and just plan randomness as well. Till then, nada. -Desi
