Goodwill fashionista tells rich hippies to shut up
Charity shops are a real crapshoot--sometimes you find things so horribly tacky they deserve to their own blog, and sometimes, fabulous style. To help promote the latter, Goodwill has launched its own luxe fashion blog. And like many fashion blogs, it indulges a fair bit of snark, such as this mini-jeremiad against preening greenies:
Green is good. Let's just quit talking about it all the time. The world's gone eco-crazy these days, and fashion is no exception. There's lots of positives in this trend: use of sustainable materials, responsible business practices, emphasis on a bigger system of give and take. But aren't we all a little tired of having "green" shoved down our throats? Can't we just be responsible keepers of the earth without proclaiming it to everyone and their mother? Is it okay to wear organic cotton and naturally dyed denim...and not even mention it to anybody? You know, like, be humble about our environmental consciousness? Here's hoping that designers from Stella McCartney to American Apparel keep doing their thing (vegan shoes and accessories; vertical integration of manufacturing) and that other brands take notice...quietly.
