WHAT'S NEW

Dear Friends,

For many people who are seeking authentic, holistic lifestyles, the fashion world and its atmosphere can often appear diametrically opposed. However, as we discovered in putting together our second annual eco-fashion issue, fashion can also be a powerful forum for expressing our individuality and reflecting our values. There is a growing number of new and inspired designers and companies that are making a splash in the world of fashion with cutting edge designs that incorporate environmentally and socially responsible production methods. Organic fabrics, non-toxic dyes and fair trade business practices are becoming increasingly common and the mainstream market is taking notice.

In this month’s issue of Yogi Times, we decided to go with a different cover for LA and SF as both of them seemed very striking to us.  You’ll find dozens of resources for inspired looks that are consistent with the conscious lifestyle we want to promote. Now, it’s possible to clothe our bodies in inspired design that represents harmony with our environment and a conscious decision to show the world that we are making a difference.


Sincerely,

Martin Hughes, Managing Editor

Eco-Fabulous Fashion
What's in Your Drawers?

By Kyle Roderick 

There’s no question that Americans love fashion. From haute couture to the latest yoga shorts, we are eager to whip out the credit card for a chance to own the coolest new threads, including that all-important figure-flattering cotton tee. But did you know that it takes five ounces of toxic pesticides and chemical fertilizers to grow the cotton in that one tee shirt? Now, check and see whether you are wearing a cotton thong, boxers or briefs.  If you are indeed cotton-clad, this means that your precious privates are encased in fibers grown with industrial pesticides and fertilizers that pollute the air, our water supply and deaden farm soil!  If you’re freaking out, relax, because the solution is in stores right now. Read More
