Portland Fashion Week serves up sustainability with style
"One of the local visionaries and sponsors for the event is shop owner and longtime Portlander Aysia Wright. Her boutique, Greenloop ("Clothing and accessories that looks as good as they make you feel"), is dedicated to spreading the gospel of sustainable design. "Fashion is an ideal vehicle to relay the message that sustainability is sexy, current, and necessary given the ecological limitations of this planet." Wright says. Greenloop carries several well-known eco-faves such as Edun and Loomstate as well as smaller labels like that of Portland native Emily Katz, who also makes our list of Fashion Week designers to watch. Here are some other runway highlights from the week in Green." Thanks Valery!

Oregonlive.com on Greenloop and Anna Cohen
Aysia Wright opened her Greenloop boutique on the outskirts of Portland in 2004 determined to change the world, "one organic tee, vegan slide, soy wrap dress and recycled rubber handbag at a time." She knew sustainable styles didn't need to come with a side of granola.. Now every frickin' fashion mag on the planet is hyping green -- even Vogue, for goodness sake!! -- and those Greenloop-di-dooers are looking mighty prophetic. The motto: Look good. Feel good. Do good. From " How green is my (Willamette) valley" by Vivian McInerny

Recycled Cashmere scarves also attract customers, says owner/founder Aysia Wright.

Greenloop features high style, principles
 Greenloop is the answer to the sustainably minded shopper’s prayer.Customers can not only buy a wide range of chic, stylish products, but they can feel good because everything they purchase goes toward making Planet Earth a greener, friendlier place. Which is pretty much how owner Aysia Wright intended it when she opened Greenloop two years ago. “We get two types of customers here,” Wright said. “The first are people who seek out this store because they want to live in an environmentally friendly way. Then there are those customers who think the clothes look great. “I like both types of customers.” Lake Oswego ReviewRead the ArticleBy Cliff Newell Oct 18, 2006

Gretchen's Closet: ECO-CHIC
 Made "popular" by Bono through his collaborative line Edun, and high-end denim company, Loomstate, clothing made from earth-friendly fabrics and through sustainable production processes are becoming more and more available online and off. It's not easy producing or selling socially-conscious and earth-friendly clothing to the fashion-conscious, but more and more designers & boutiques are doing just that. More hip than hippie, smooth than crunchy, and whole grain than granola, these pieces aren't the shapeless wonders of the woodstock generation. Cut to beautifully fit curves and accentuate all the positives, the new, more contemporary environmentally friendly clothing is meant to be worn with Manolo or Marc Jacobs, NOT Birkenstocks.

Sustainable Fashion in Christian Science Monitor
 Sustainable Fashion in Christian Science MonitorAugust 22, 2006 Not known for their cutting-edge fashion coverage, the Christian Science Monitor has jumped on the sustainable fashion bandwagon with an article about bamboo, soy and other alternative fabrics making inroads in high fashion. They tapped SSF pals Summer Rayne Oakes and Aysia Wright (owner Greenloop, a super eoc-fashion store) to shed some light on this phenomenon. The conclusion: green is hot and sustainable fashion is here to stay. It's good to see more and more publications who get that. csmonitor.com via eco-chick.com
Soy Replaces Silk in the World of Sustainable Fashion
 Today it's possible to walk into a trendy boutique, flip through the racks of hangers, and find, mixed in with the usual wool suits and silk skirts, a pair of wide-legged pants sewn from bamboo, a funky shirred shirt constructed out of corn, or an iridescent tank dress made from wood pulp. It's a far cry from the early days of environmentally friendly but drab organic cotton, and hemp that resembled burlap. While those fibers, often blended with luscious organic silks and cashmeres, have become a staple of sustainable fashion, the newest materials — including corn, seaweed, and soy — seem somehow better suited to a dinner plate.

Grist and Greenloop: eco news and style
 Something really cool just happened to me. A few weeks ago I signed up for Grist Magazine’s newsletter, Daily Grist, which is a snarky, clever look at the current environmental headlines. When I signed up, I guess it made me eligible for a $250 gift certificate from the swanky, eco-tailer Greenloop. I won. Can you believe it? I won. And I just finished my little shopping spree and am patiently awaiting my very hip loot. GristJuly 5, 2006 By Staff
Green Chic: Shop talk with P-Town's Fashion-forward "eco-nistas."
 Anna Cohen, 28, takes every concept you have about "green fashion" and rips it wide open. Here's a girl with serious industry training—at the hard-core Fashion Institute of Technology in New York and at FIT Polimoda in Italy—who understands the ins and outs of fashion, both as an art and as a business. *** In the back alley of a teeny-tiny, unassuming building in West Linn lives a very fashion-forward store called Greenloop, a little shop hawking "green" clothes and accessories. Run by 32-year-old attorney Aysia Wright, Greenloop's mission is to create an outlet where consumers can find eco-friendly high style with a modern sensibility.*** Willamette WeekRead the ArticleBy Elianna Bar-el & Laura Shinn June 21, 2006
Rise of the NeGreens
 Think of Howard Brown as a Forrest Gump for the Gen X set. Wherever the zeitgeist has galloped in the last two decades, Brown has been a few strides ahead, waiting when it arrived. Back in the '80s, while living in Seattle, he followed a cool local band that he thought had promise. Its name: Nirvana. A few years later, in Philadelphia, he published a popular zine at the dawn of that now-forgotten pre-blog explosion of self-expression. Then he latched onto the extreme-sports craze and took a job working for Burton Snowboards, moments before the X Games went big time. In the late '90s - of course - he became a dotcom dreamer and headed to California, only to awaken with a drawerful of worthless stock options. WIRED MagazineRead the ArticleBy Danile H.

Greenloop: For the Fashionably Inclined
One of the most popular columns in my "old" blog (more on that later!) was "Fertile Fashion"--about sustainable, organic, and FASHIONABLE clothes...e.g., Loomstate Jeans. I really like my blogspot neighbor, Greenloop.blogspot.com. Aysia Wright has her ear to the ground on the newest eco fashion trends, and Greenloop has its own website, thegreenloop.com, where you can do some highly energy-efficient (i.e., YOUR energy) one-stop shopping and ogle new trends and upcoming green companies. You don't have to wear Jesus sandals and a hemp sack to go green (of course you can, if you want to) and enhance your fertility, just check out the article on green being the new black. Go Greenloop!

 Forget Birkenstocks. The new generation of ecofashion even works with BlahniksHere's a peek into your closet of the future. That sleek bodysuit? Woven from bamboo threads. The orange sheath? Corn fiber. The sequins on that red bolero jacket? Recycled Coke cans. All of these one-of-a-kind creations made their debut during the recent New York Fashion Week, where designers like Oscar de la Renta and Diane von Furstenberg demonstrated their newly green cred in a show of environmentally friendly fashion.

Eco-fashion goes haute couture
 Eco-conscious fashion has gone from hippie to hip. As the list of sustainable fabrics grows -- materials from soybeans, wood pulp and even bamboo -- so does the popularity of eco-embracing designers. "People want more than a label. They want a back story so they can feel good wearing the outfit," says clothing designer Linda Loudermilk, whose clients have included Meryl Streep and Leonardo DiCaprio. Loudermilk's line ($90 to $1,500), which will be featured in her own luxury "green" retail store along L.A.'s trendy Melrose Avenue later this year, includes trousers cut from linen-like sasawashi, made from a Japanese leaf, and fleecy jackets fashioned from a blend of recycled soda bottles and cotton (reported to feel like sheepskin).
