Starting this Friday, the country’s best eco-friendly designers will take to the catwalk for Portland’s fifth fashion week. The sustainably produced fashion week will feature the Spring lines of over 30 earth-loving fashion labels, including some class favorites like Sameunderneath and Holly Stalder. While PFW has always been produced with mother nature in mind, this PFW 2007 will mark the first time (in the nation!) that the production of the event itself is entirely sustainable — from the products used on the models to the construction of the runway, Portland Fashion Week will be created and conducted while giving our planet every consideration possible.

If any of our readers happen to make it to PFW (you can still buy tickets here), let us know what the experience was like. Additionally, a few new eco-lines will be debuting at the event, so be sure to fill us in on the new competition…

What’s super interesting is that PFW is a kind-of hybird showcasing both eco-friendly designers from Portland and around the country as well as some of Portland’s finest indie designers (Monday night is especially strong in this regard).

If you’re in Portland next week and interested in sustainability, hope you can make it to the Sustainability in Practice panel discussion we’re hosting as part of our TALKING FASHION series at the Gerding Theater at the Armory (Platinum LEED building!). Designers talk about sustainability on the ground, decision-making, best practices, and more.
