DIGS had a great turnout at this summers New York show where we premiered our new sustainable and fair-trade collections!http://www.nyigf.com/
“We celebrate materials instead of apologizing for them.” Only one of the many intentions listed on ( ) Fashion’s Night Out’s website hosted by Of Rags, EcoSalon and NYC Fair Trade Coalition at the new Textile Arts Center in NYC’s WestVillage.
( ) FNO featured 14 ethical brands – including us, of course! – who have dedicated their businesses to respecting all parts of their supply chain from the dyes to the people who make the product. What’s up with the parenthesis? Those are for you. Some people might fill in “sustainable.” Some might say “innovative.” For me, I’d fill those parentheses with “positive.”
That was my first feeling when I walked into ( ) FNO. Everyone was happy and interested in the clothing, design and story behind each piece. There were amazing people all around willing to talk about sustainable, fair trade fashion. And with fair trade wine being served courtesy of Fairhills Wines and yummy baked goodies from Gone Pie Vegan Bakery, the atmosphere was definitely laid-back and friendly!
We premiered Scarfitecture and displayed four of the seven architectural designs from Anna Dyson, Dukho Yeon, Chris Sharples and Ali Soltani. Each scarf was made by an artisan from Ecolibiri in Lake Atitlan, Guatemala. The scarves are made from reclaimed and recycled materials such as unraveled sweaters. They seemed incredibly cozy and warm, perfect for fall.

I especially enjoyed Ali Soltani’s scarf. I loved the extra feature that you could unbutton each piece and make your own design – one day it could be a scarf, another day a poncho!

Ali Soltani and Anna Dyson visited the event to see their work on display and to gander through the other designers' work.
Global Goods Partners showcased their lovely silk necklaces and Feral Child, their exclusive "Stop the Fashion Pirates" t-shirt. Loved Erin Cosidine's delicate, yet industrial jewelry and trendy hand-painted tees from Of Rags. EcoSalon also had awesome giveaway bags made by NO CHAIRS that were filled with eco-friendly goodies like a nau scarf, a Pawling Print Studio card, HAND/EYE Magazine and a Mission Savvy coupon.
Make sure to keep updated on DIGS. Scarfitecture scarves will be cautioned in December!
