With all the gloom-and-doom warnings about the environment, perhaps it was inevitable: The advent of politically correct clothing. Or shall we say, ecologically friendly ones.
These fashions are kinder and gentler to Mother Earth: Clothes whose remains won’t be hanging around into the next millennium. Natural fabrics. Cotton threads. Silks and linens “stained” with color instead of dunked in harmful dyes.
“It’s not about being New Age or `cosmic,’ ” says J. Morgan Puett, whose clothes are featured on these pages and who has always looked to nature for inspiration. “I want people to be ultimately comfortable, practical and aesthetically pleasing. . . . And nature is probably the best place to go for the pure.”
