A more thorough look at the Autumn-Winter 2006-2007 Ready to Wear collections reveals a tongue in cheeky awareness of global food politics and a welcome activist approach towards health and eating. In February of this year I reported on Jeremy Scott’s Food Fight collection, but during a revisit to this subject this week I discovered a critical voice in the likes of Walter van Beirendonck.

Thankfully Spring and Summer 2007 show the fashion industry deeply embracing permaculture.
