Will I Bite?

A day in the life as Editor in Chief of styleshaker.com is awesome. I get the very latest and greatest inside scoop sent directly to my inbox.

Each day, I eagerly read my e-mail while snipping on my expresso.

Recently, I have noticed the over use of the ECO-Chic bandwagon. Below you will find a couple of examples of new products or designers hoping to decrease their carbon footprint and increase their bottom line.

1. Lauren Bush launches her eco-chic Feed100 bag at Whole Foods. It wasn't until I was in Whole Foods in Austin, Texas this past weekend. I realized the bags retail for $29.99. COME ON. There are all sort of ways to earn a buck but a bag which costs more then this single girl's grocery bill. Honestly, It was hard to digest Whole Food's latest retail misstep. High dollar design totes - HELLO.

The bight stylish side - proceeds will fund United Nations World Food Program and each bag purchase will provide 100 school lunches to needy children in Rwanda.

2. The Leroy & Perry by Lutz & Patmos line Spring with three styles, all named after their favorite New York restaurants: Pastis,Cluny and Zampa. Each of the three styles is eco friendly (some made from recycled t shirts and bamboo) and are sold at Barneys.

The flip charitable side is 1% of the proceed will go to the alliance for climate protection. A single organization, whose goal it is to persuade people of the importance, urgency, and feasibility of adopting and implementing effective and comprehensive solutions for climate crisis. Honestly, 1% of proceeds - well that just makes me giggle.

In this case every little bit should help. Right?

Nina Gracia - A Career Girl On the GO

Mediabistro.com has reported - Hachette Filipacchi and its flagship, Elle, are in a tizzy at the moment, sparked by the acrimonious departure of fashion editor Nina Garcia, and the imminent loss of its toehold on mainstream consciousness through Project Runway. Now it appears that the show (which is moving from Bravo to Lifetime) is switching from Elle to quasi-rival Marie Claire, and taking Garcia with it. The New York Post's Page Six column reported on Friday that she's joining the magazine either as part of or in the parallel to the deal (no official confirmation is forthcoming). To make things worse, Elle suffered a mini-layoff of sorts a few weeks back during the reshuffling of staff following her departure ... read more >

So, Project Runway moved from Elle to Marie Clare and Nina followed. I got it. If this move is anything like the move from Banana Republic to Macy's following the first season. I will stop watching the show now.

I think sponsors matter. As Heidi would say you're either in or you're out. I consider both Macy and Marie Claire to be out. Out of sync, that is, with Project Runway's intent. This recent shift will continue to drive the apparent disconnect. A further dilution of the individual style and independent design spirit inwhich the show was built upon.
