Sustainable Fashion

Designer Eviana Hartman, who received Ecco Domani’s first Sustainable Design award, earned street cred writing an eco column for The Washington Post, working at Vogue, and creating the collection’s first two seasons with Samantha Pleet. She’s now on her own, and the results of her research are evident in the conscious content (recycled PET nylon, locally dyed Ahimsa silk, organic garment care labels) and modern concepts (structural Parabola dress, everyday-amazing Distortion tank, sexy but staid Orbit shorts). The line has just been released at some boutiques in NY, Steven Alan, I Heart, and Bird. Go and get it!!

SWISHING!

The Vassar Greens and Contrast are collaborating on an event to mark Earth Month this year!

Swishing is a free clothing swap! Each person must bring at least one good quality item of clothes, a pair of shoes or accessories he/she would be proud to pass on!

Collection of clothes will start on March 23rd at Study Breaks and other designated locations around campus. Bring back stuff from home when you go back for break! This is your chance to give back and get something in return.
