Eco-Fashion: Going Green Exhibition at FIT

Eco-Fashion: Going Green exposition at The Museum at FIT explores fashion’s relationship with the environment. “Eco-fashion” is contemporary, but the fashion industry has had a long connection with the environment from the growth process and manufacture of fibers, sometimes obscure dyeing practices, debate of leather and fur, the health and treatment of industry workers, to incredible strides to protect the environment made my some of the hottest designers in the industry. This fascinating exhibit explores the history of the industry and features some of the finest examples of sustainable fashion by current, cutting-edge labels, including Ciel, Bodkin, Edun, FIN, and NOIR. The exhibition runs through November 13, 2010 in the Fashion and Textile History Gallery at The Museum at FIT, New York City.
