Katherine Hamnett and Organic Cotton

Cross-posted from my site. Enjoy.

I came across designer Katherine Hamnett today while researching pesticide poisoning. She is going on my list of "Incredible Women I'd Love To Meet."

She's been designing since the 1970's, and has been on an environmental crusade for most of her career. Her fight for organic cotton is commendable and inspiring. It also doesn't hurt that her clothes are completely fabulous!

As consumers we hold the power to assist Katherine Hamnett by demanding organic cotton from manufacturers and stores and holding those businesses accountable for the ethical treatment of the people around the world who are making these products.

Check out Katherine Hamnett's Site and while there, be sure to read Clean Up Or Die

There's also a nice write up on her on Inhabitat's site.

Time to snuggle with the baby on the couch and read the latest Body+Soul magazine.

Happy Sunday!
