"Organic" Breathes Fresh Air into NYC Fashion Week

Jeez, do I have to do everything around here? Ahhhhh.

Imagine a fashion event with models who smile, clothes that are as stylish as they are eco/socially responsible, and George W. Bush. Okay, the George Bush part was just to get your attention, but there was a Bush Family member and the models were smiling in their fantastic Organic by John Patrick couture. This past Wednesday, September 5th just 30 feet from the main tent in Bryant Park was one of the most cutting edge fashion events of the week....More from ecorazzi

Bindi in WWD:
Bindi Irwin may be best known for following in her late "Crocodile Hunter" father Steve Irwin's footsteps as an environmental conservationist, but as it turns out, the eight-year-old is also a budding fashion entrepreneur.

Irwin, who has been busy this summer doing crocodile research with her mom, Terri, in her home country of Australia, is preparing for her first trip to the MAGIC trade show in Las Vegas at the end of the month. There, she plans to introduce her children's clothing line, Bindi Wear International. Her plan, with the help of her mom, is not only to launch an apparel collection, but to use it to infuse interest in wildlife conservation. The real reason for the launch is to raise money for the cause, as 100 percent of the proceeds from sales of the line will go directly to support the Australia Zoo's conservation programs.
