Just catching wind of this now! If you’re in and around the New York area this evening, and you have some free time on your hands, consider going to Pratt to hear a free panel discussion with Barney’s SVP, Julie Gilhart concerning fashion and sustainability.

This is the first American exhibition to explore the work of artists and designers who seek practical and symbolic solutions to the question of integrating sustainable practices into the fashion system. The exhibition is organized around three main themes: Reduce, Revalue and Rethink, expanding on the traditional ecological mantra Reduce, Reuse, Recycle by acknowledging the importance of aesthetics within fashion design.
