fa fa fa fa fashion (la la la la)
The word is out, all over town.
Cliche as it already is, green = new black.
Two weeks ago in may favorite old-fashioned newspaper, FT, was gushing over green-stylee guru Danny Seo, and stated that; "decorating and style conventions are being blown down, and homes are being built back up meaner, leaner and greener." ...then toady in the SF Gate they say that "green is the trendy way to go!" and none of that is a surprise to anyone here. In fact, green consumerism has a funny tone to it.. but personally I liken it to cracks forming and letting the light seep in. As if we've been collectively cocooned while in our sleepwalking state, and now through lifestyle changes, we are actually morphing a culture, hence, unshackling the bonds. for me it's a harbinger, but of good things to come! So, in that light I would like to shine a little more on ya:
Meet Maki Hayazono. She's the designer for a company in Tokyo called Rourou (pronounced "lou-lou"). Last night, at Japan Fashion Week, Ms. Hayazono (who modeled for and studied with uberchic Yoji Yamamoto) launched her latest line, "the Lotus Room" (pictured below). And just in case you're wondering why i care about the Lotus Room collection... well, let's just look at 'em ...and use the keywords Hemp, Recycled Silk, and Elegance!
