Increasing
pollution from vehicles and industrial units, deforestation, excessive use of
chemicals, plastic, metals and other non-biodegradable material, expanding
landfill sites are leaving devastating impacts on the environment.
This has intensified the need to minimize the environmental damages and make
the earth a better place to live not only for the present generations but also
for the future generations to come.
Fashion Industry is one of the most polluting industries in the world. It is
the second largest water-consumer of all the industries of the world.
An interesting area of research is to emancipate the role of technology
integration in the fashion industry and its contribution in the emergence of
an ethical and green fashion value-chain.
The intervention of green technology in the fashion industry is bringing forth
various aspects such as green material, green design, green manufacturing,
green transportation, green retail, and green post-consumer management and so
on.
These concepts have relevance to various key areas in the fashion value chain
where eco-friendly technology and alternate solutions can replace the
conventional methods.
The coming years are going to witness integration of green technology in
various stages from fibre to fabric, from raw material to the finished fashion
goods.
This will encompass the whole value-chain from across, farming, sourcing,
designing, manufacturing aspects and manufacturer to retailer and finally to
the consumer covering the warehousing, ordering, transportation, retailing,
consuming and post-consumer management.

Shana
Gibson, owner of Modern Cowgirl, wants to inspire girls and women to be
empowered, be their own hero, and save their own day with the launch of
her new White Horse Campaign. Merging the boldness and moxie of the
cowgirl, and the sophistication and style of chic couture, Modern
Cowgirl focuses on celebrating the spirit and strength of the cowgirl
within every woman. Modern Cowgirl is redefining the fantasy of the
cowboy on his white horse with their motto “I Ride my Own White Horse”.
Modern Cowgirl was founded by Shana and opened its virtual doors in
2000. Since then it has evolved from a website offering a variety of
western goods, to an online store where you will find a truly unique
line of apparel and jewelry all designed by Modern Cowgirl. Their
signature "I Ride my Own White Horse" design is featured on a line of
T-shirts, canvas tote bags, handmade notebooks, and necklaces which are
available online.
The White Horse Campaign encourages women to inspire strength in
themselves and each other by sharing their own amazing stories. Modern
Cowgirl wants women to send an email, a post card, draw a picture, or
send a photo of what inspires them. The submissions will be posted on
the Modern Cowgirl website where women everywhere can read them and
draw inspiration from the stories and experiences.
Modern Cowgirl has also just released their new Spring/Summer
collection which includes 13 designs on burnout tee shirts, tank tops,
cotton tees and tote bags. In addition to apparel, Modern Cowgirl has
an extensive line of jewelry from fun smaller pieces, to classic
heirloom designs.
A
mother is that unique individual around whom our lives revolve right from the
moment we are born. It is her encouragement and faith in us that pushes us to
achieve success while silently offering us moral support. Always dependable,
we can turn to her whenever we need comfort.
A matchless love of such caliber deserves a special gift on Mother’s Day, a
day dedicated exclusively to mothers. Celebrated annually on March 21st this
day is the perfect occasion to show your love and indebted gratitude towards
her with a gift honouring the special bond you both share…such as the
exclusive Mother’s Day pendant from Damas, the world renowned jeweler based in
the Middle East.
Damas unfurls a truly emotive offering with its eye-catching butterfly motif
pendant designed in a highly ar-tistic flourish. Crafted in 18k yellow gold
and lined with lustrous mother-of-pearl, representative of a mother herself,
this jewel is richly adorned with a rainbow of gems combining peridots, blue
topaz, amethyst and garnets in various cuts ranging from round and marquise to
pear-shaped to indicate her children – each of them defined by unique
characteristics – yet all of whom are collectively embraced by the powerful
love of their mother, an aspect represented by the glittering presence of
select diamond brilliants. And beautifully inscribed on the wings of the
butterfly in both English and Arabic is the word ‘Mom’. This remarkable pen-dant
is accompanied by a slender 18k yellow gold chain and is priced at just AED
1990.
Tamjid Abdullah, Deputy Managing Director, Damas Jewellery commented, “A
Mother is that special per-son in one’s life whose silent presence, selfless
love and untiring efforts nurture our growth and success. Each of us is
forever deeply indebted to her and in fact her love can never be paid back. A
special day dedicated to the timeless and universal concept of motherhood
offers the perfect occasion to display your love with an exclusive Damas
butterfly pendant designed to echo her deepest sentiments.”
Ajay Pandey – GM Category & Marketing Head, said, “A superbly crafted jewel,

Not
every bride is a "perfect 10." In fact, sizes 14 and 16 are the two most
common sizes ordered, according to designers at Enzoani, one of the country's
leading bridal manufacturers. Even in California, where women are seemingly
obsessed with squeezing into their skinny jeans, plus sizes in bridal are
ordered daily. And that's exactly why Trudy's Brides of Campbell, Calif., is
hosting a totally new kind of fashion show - one dedicated to real women with
real curves.
The runway extravaganza will feature Enzoani's "Gorgeous With Curves"
collection, a unique and luxurious line of gowns that specifically flatter
fuller figures. The event will take place March 7, noon, at the Aperture
Studio right next to Trudy's Brides in Campbell's Pruneyard Shopping Center.
Attendees will have the opportunity to try on the gowns they've seen
immediately after the show, plus receive a special incentive to order that
day.
"When it comes to choosing a wedding gown, there are many options for those
ladies who are anything but petite," says Trudy Blechman, the store's owner.
"The fact that most brides aren't fitting into a size 6 is significant because
there's this perception that all the beautiful gowns are for super-slender
ladies. It's just not true, and our fashion show will prove it."
With over 30 years' experience in bridal retail, Trudy has often heard these
customers comment on their sizes and shapes. However, today's fuller-figured
brides simply want to look fantastic - just like anyone else. And yet these
ladies usually assume that their options are limited to modest styles or those
designed to conceal certain aspects of their bodies.
"These women are glowing because they're in love and engaged, and they're
often proud of their figures and self-confident," Trudy says. "What I'm now
hearing is that they don't want to hide behind a ton of material, but show off
their radiant beauty instead. So we've asked Enzoani to present this
collection so that this particular audience can see just how many options they
have. The show should be exciting and different because when was the last time
you saw a fashion show with models who weren't a size 2?"
Max,
the value fashion brand from the Dubai based Landmark Group, maximizes the
Spring Fashion fervour with the launch of its new ‘Spring Collection 2010’.

hole in their pocket. The collection is available across all Max stores in the
city at Commercial Street, Indiranagar, Oasis Centre in Koramangala and Spar
