Cool Hunting
MomiMomi has consistently been one of CH's most-liked t-shirt lines, so we're happy to see that one of the designers is going green with his new line, Green Tee Clothing Company. Now based in Florida, designer Danny Leder, launched the collection printed exclusively on organic cotton using only water-based inks last month at the Project tradeshow.
The theme for their second collection, which will be out just in time for the holidays, is "Gifted," exploring the inherent contradiction between natural beauty and modern materialism (both referred to as "gifts" in our language).
"Humans have a funny (and often seemingly arbitrary) way of giving value to the 'gifts' that nature's bounty bestows upon them," observes Leder. "They ascribe the promise of a fulfilled wish to blowing apart the fuzz of a dandelion blossom; infinite monetary worth to strange rocks that come from the belly of the planet ... The graphics in our second line give a subtle nod and a little thanks to these peculiar relationships."
This latest line of clothing hasn't been posted on the website yet, but you can contact Green Tee directly to see what we're talking about.

Building on what's developing as a series of products geared toward raised awareness of our ecology, part of the profits from Patagonia's latest tee go to protect the Alaska National Wildlife Refuge, a 19 million acre area of Alaska's North Slope, that's long been eyed by the energy industry because of huge oil deposits thought to exist underneath this protected region. Designed by Northern...
by Valery Joseph That Portland, Oregon, is a poster-child of green values and sustainable living is hardly news. Consistently name-checked in the media and the recipient of countless awards—most recently, the honor of "Greenest U.S. City"—the Pacific Northwest town has become the urban darling of the eco-set. So, who better to celebrate the ever-increasing union between fashion and the environment? With its 4th annual...
Sustainability comes in all colors and forms these days, but rather than fall for the clever marketing of a product that purportedly saves the environment, Rio de Janeiro’s Amazon Life really hits the heart of sustainability by being aware of the people that can benefit from our consumerism.
