Green with envy: deux fm heads to New York
We wish we were a devil wearing Prada. That way we could attend The GreenShows Eco Fashion Week in New York. Dedicated to eco-friendly, sustainable fashion that you’d actually want to wear (i.e. no hairy hemp sacks), the first event was held in September, during New York Fashion Week. This time around, 10 designers will showcase their fall/winter 2010 collections, including our own deux fm. Anna Gilkerson, deux fm’s style genius, shows her line next Wednesday, and has promised us photos and updates from the runway.

Video: Katrina Tuttle’s spring/summer collection
For those of you still whining that Halifax is a fashion wasteland, it’s time to get over it. A few weeks ago, national fashion media were losing their knee-high boots over Katrina Tuttle‘s spring 2010 collection at Toronto Fashion Week (here she is on Fashion Television).
