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.

I was recently at a party with the Triple Cities Hiking Club . This venerable and esteemed group dates back to 1947. We all traveled to   Allegheny State Park  - where it snowed beautifully this weekend. At the shin dig a hiker broke out this unique bottle of local brew for everyone to partake of.  Shortly put, if there were cider in heaven Black Bear Farm Winery would be found inside the jeweled gates. The bottle shows us imagination and immediately suggests nostalgia for lazing on a shady back porch swing at a classy party where the hosts have down to earth taste. This fabulous growler of nectar brings the bubbly tasty goodness of early summer harvest. Notes of sweet ripe berry and tart apple ring through a crisp fizzy nose. Altogether the most satisfying hard cider this writer has tasted ever. Let's call it sweet ...
