MANHATTAN—Eco Fashion creeps up on you in the most unexpected places. In Manhattan, the epicenter of style in the US, it’s possible to stumble into boutiques or even your local H&M store and get a sense of current trends in sustainable clothing and textile production.

From May 26- November 13, 2010 at The Museum at FIT in Manhattan
Eco Fashion is a hot topic in the world of art and style right now and the exhibit, Eco Fashion, Going Green’s appearance has only affirmed Eco Fashion’s importance in New York City. The Museum at the Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT), founded in 1944 as a part of the New York State University system, opened a show last week entitled Eco Fashion Going Green at their Textile History Gallery at Seventh Avenue at 27th Street in NYC. This show, organized by Jennifer Farley and Colleen Hill is a BIG nod to Eco Fashionistas, Sustainable Designers and Stylists around the world, since its home at FIT broadcasts that Eco Fashion is here to stay. For those of you HVC readers who won’t be able to hit up this exhibit, here’s a brief synopsis to wet your palette. Take a look and then go out there and inspire your local textile, fashion or fine art institution to develop a show based on Eco Fashion. You never know what you can create !
