46 Five for Europe
building space by 2016. And with European design so often forging the path in terms of coolness and style, look for the rest of the world to take cues from European green design. Fashion is all set to go green as well, as Europe continues to obsess on all things eco. Ethical trade is a hot topic, as is recycled clothing and a DIY approach to design. The Cracow School of Art and Fashion Design, for instance, teaches students to create clothing made of recycled materials such as paper and plastic. Likewise, the Environmental Justice Foundation, out of London, is leading an international campaign to clean up cotton production with a collection of exclusively designed T-shirts by Luella Bartley, Christian Lacroix, Betty Jackson and Katharine Hamnett, all produced on organic and fairly traded cotton. Europe is going full-on eco.
