		<description><![CDATA[Sustainable Fashion
Columnist Whitney Kessler
Posted on Wednesday 12th August 2009
Sometimes it is hard to see how our choices affect our world. This statement is especially true of our addiction to fashion. How can we justify overflowing landfills and polluted air? How do we disregard sweatshops and child labor? Clothing has been produced for ages in ways [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=wkessler.wordpress.com&blog=545185&post=309&subd=wkessler&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Green, the New Red

Columnist Whitney Kessler
Posted on Tuesday 18th August 2009
It makes sense to start our journey of green fashion at the core of daily clothing — underwear.
All too often, consumers assume that green clothing is harder to find and will be more expensive. What consumers need to remember is that when we argue against [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=wkessler.wordpress.com&blog=545185&post=307&subd=wkessler&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

Whitney Kessler, Columnist
Posted on Tuesday 1st September 2009
“Globalization has made it possible to produce clothing at increasingly lower prices, prices so low that many consumers consider this clothing to be disposable. Some call it ‘fast fashion,’ the clothing equivalent of fast food.”
Luz Claudio made this statement in his article [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=wkessler.wordpress.com&blog=545185&post=303&subd=wkessler&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

Whitney Kessler &#8211; Columnist
Posted on Wednesday 23rd September 2009
With over 20 locations mostly located along the East Coast, resale store Second Time Around began as a venture that encourages consumers to recycle designer and high-end clothing. Each store buys and sells clothes, bags, shoes and accessories. I met with [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=wkessler.wordpress.com&blog=545185&post=298&subd=wkessler&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Bowling and taquitos</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve made two discoveries. With great deals, it is always a great night.
A popular NYU spot, complete with authentic salsa and late night dancing, El Cantinero has made it&#8217;s mark on the weekly Whitney schedule. The strong and refreshing classic margarita is part of the $3 happy hour &#8220;all night&#8221; deal that also includes the [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=wkessler.wordpress.com&blog=545185&post=294&subd=wkessler&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[September 13, 2009
So when life gave her tape, she made a cowl. The sculpted scarf, which Sheena wore to the ARS festival on Sept 6th, was created from reclaimed materials Scully found or happened upon. She used a saffron-hued caution tape from Con Edison  (dangerously fabulous) and Geämi’s sustainable packaging material (not oil-based) to [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=wkessler.wordpress.com&blog=545185&post=288&subd=wkessler&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Party in Ireland!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The international push for The U.P has begun. Eliza and Sheena have been in London/UK for the past couple weeks promoting and partying with supporters we&#8217;ve already gained over there. The press is picking up too! Glamour just did a spread on us for its October 2009 issue. Woot!
As the editorial/research intern, I&#8217;m spending all [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=wkessler.wordpress.com&blog=545185&post=284&subd=wkessler&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

The resource Web site invited writers to pitch ideas and become a part of the project.

		<description><![CDATA[The inimitable &#8220;they&#8221; refer to the magnificent Metropolitan Museum of Art as &#8220;The Met.&#8221; And I like it. There&#8217;s no reason culture snobs shouldn&#8217;t have a nickname for such a huge and amazing place. It has a right to be loved that much. And it isn&#8217;t free, but it is donation only. So, NAME YOUR [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=wkessler.wordpress.com&blog=545185&post=273&subd=wkessler&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>The Radical Approach</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When I call them radical, I mean it in the best, most complimentary way possible. The gals at lifeiscarbon® blow my mind!
The group of mix-matched mind-globetrotters founded lifeiscarbon® to not only change their lives, but to change in an impressively self-less direction. They have vowed that within their prospective careers and outlets and lives the [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=wkessler.wordpress.com&blog=545185&post=271&subd=wkessler&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
