I had never entered the Swedish Embassy (aka Nordic House) before, so this was a pleasant surprise. The exhibit is on the second floor, but on the ground floor they have a Swedish restaurant and gift shop that put IKEA to shame! The exhibit was beautifully presented and introduced me to quite a few designers I haven&#8217;t heard of before. The only downside of this is that unless they made a strong effort to get American retailers interested in the show, we might never see these clothes in American stores.<\/p>\n<p>The pamphlet includes a brief questionnaire to get people thinking about the choices they make around clothing, with points scored based on how sustainable their response was. It also explains the reason why, with a simple snapshot of major issues such as textile recycling, laundering options, paying the <a href=\"https:\/\/feelgoodstyle.com\/2010\/03\/02\/transfair-develops-fair-trade-certification-for-apparel\/\">fair trade premium<\/a>, etc.<\/p>\n<p>The piece photographed is by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.anjahynynen.com\/gallery.html\">Anja Hynynen<\/a>, made from organic wool. I liked her pieces best because of the craftsmanship and attention to detail. This exhibit proves that eco-fashion is indeed moving out of yoga class and into the real fashion world. I am looking forward to being able to find some of these gorgeous creations at Barneys and other major American retailers some day.
