I finally got the excuse I was looking for to head back to the big apple. Angela Lindvall, fashion model, actress and founder of Collage Foundation hosted a fundraiser and Fashion Week postparty with fellow organic style guru Danny Seo. It was great catching up and we conspired a bit on future projects. I also got a chance to talk to Angela's huband William quite a bit. Originally from South Africa and a professional diver, William's got a lot of great stories.
I also got a chance to catch up with other SSF-NY steering committee members Kim Heismann from PopSustainability and Mary Gelhar, fashion director of GenArt.
On my way out to the airport I made a pitstop in Brooklyn to check out an awesome new store called The Future Perfect, started by Satellite David Alhadeff. David's concept was to showcase high style accessories, home furnishings and artwork by local designers...what he discovered was that many of the products had great sustainability stories as well including coffee tables from salvaged wood, table runners from Donna Karan scraps and redesigned dishware.
