Eco Fashion World

ASCENSION

Independence Day in the United States was celebrated this past weekend. A day when “red, white and blue” is honored and we reflect on the freedom in America as well as the sacrifices made by many in order for us to have this freedom.

Let us further contemplate our love for America by bouncing around to many of the eco fashion events hosted this summer, remembering that in order to keep our world beautiful, we have to take care of it.
