Last night’s “Green Initiative Humanitarian blah blah blah” was not as interesting as it could have been, although my enthusiasm may have been tempered slightly by the fact that they made the crowd wait in line for over an hour (after sending a slightly sharp email about how we all had to be on time).
Emily Factor, M the Movement, ecoSkin, lilikoi, and smartglass recycled jewelry were all featured, and the clothes were all sort of boring. Lots of jersey knit, again with the bright colors (I guess even the green kids got the nineties memo), and some very wearable stuff from M the Movement, but otherwise… eh.
The more interesting part of the show was the, ahem, sideshow. For whatever reason, organizers decided that it would be fun (and appropriate?) to “go native.” Like, African dancers and what looked like Polynesian chest-beaters. It was not explained, and it was odd.
