The exciting thing about this Spring/Summer 2010 fashion is that designers are facing a real challenge in hitting their price points in the middle of a recession. This is hard to do without compromising your creativity and level of design. I believe, challenge breeds excellence.

We’re highlighting what's good in Oregon's green fashion scene. From Mira Fannin's designs for Sweet Skins made with hemp, organic cotton and wool, low impact dyes, and recycled fabrics to Suzabelle's sweatshop-free clothing; spring 2010 fashion looks like high-waisted shorts, belted waists, black-and-white-striped dresses, and more ethically-conscious trends.
