Green Fashion

Over at Worldchanging, Nicole Anne-Boyer has a post on how environmental concerns are becoming fashionable and being packaged to be sold to rich consumers. The post itself is interesting, but she also mentions the FT’s glossy lifestyle magazine How to Spend it – "devoted to the whims of elite consumption and concerns — everything from Prada to philanthropy. I’m charmed and appalled; their ideal reader". Well, I took a look at the magazine – I’m just appalled. Greed masquerading as taste and beauty. I must confess though that I was quite taken with the web application that the publishers are using to display the printed copy of the magazine as a digital version in the web browser. That’s quite good. Pity the content makes me want to vomit.
