Eco Fashion: Interview with Julie Dicterow of Cri De Coeur

C ri de Coeur ||style conscious with a conscience :: ethical contemporary fashion|| MG: When you decided to create shoes in an ethically responsible way did you get any resistance from those around you? JD: I think there is a resistance to non-leather goods in this industry when presenting a designer quality shoe that is made of vegan products. I think that we are filling the void for those who seek out quality, but also want to make conscious choices that they can live with. The more people are educated about the impact the fashion industry can have on reversing global warming while also improving quality of life for people and animals (with regard to leather tanneries, meat industry and animal welfare) the more people want to support companies that are cruelty-free but also meets high-end fashion demands.

Eco-fashion: Inka Sherman - designer at Ism Mode

Bryan: What prompted the extraordinary focus on making your designs sustainable? Inka: Our planet is in bad shape. I think everyone should try to do their part to reduce their impact and we should try to do this in all domains of our lives, like at home and at work. I try to reach sustainability in the materials I use and also in they way I produce my collection Bryan: Have you found any benefit? Does acting ethically pay off? Inka: It's hard at first, because doing this right (sustainably) costs more and it takes more time to figure out if the things I think are sustainable are actually sustainable. I can see the benefits of increasing my local economy and I can see that people feel the difference in my product, so yes, I think it pays off.
