September 15: SF Deliberates Eco Fashion

Tonight, deep down in the Financial District of funky fresh SF, leaders of the exploding eco fashion industry will be discussing the intersection of environmentalism and fashion at Eco-Fashion: From Birkenstock to Couture.

If you’re near the Bay, join the likes of Tierra Forte (Del Forte Denim), Zem Joaquin (ecofabulous.com) , and Caren Holzman (Transfair USA) as they discuss the what, where, why and how of greener manufacturing and eco style trends at Temple, one of SF’s most visually delectable venues. Is sustainable design a short term fad or a long term evolution? What is more important when it comes to greener manufacturing-the cost to customers or the cost to our planet’s delicate ecosystems?

After you get your hard-hitting ethical style questions answered and your debate skills sharpened, you can mingle with fellow eco fashists (I coined this for humor’s sake-please take no offense) over cocktails at the after-party. Hippies and hipsters unite at Eco-Fashion: From Birkenstock to Couture!
