British designer Stella McCartney is to create an organic resort line for US retailer Barneys. The whole world seems to be striving to be more eco-friendly these days and Barneys is no exception. Launching an eco-initiative plan in February the store has signed up several designers to create ethical collections. McCartney has created an 18 piece collection which is not simply organic but also made from sustainable fabrics. Key features from her current collection appear in the eco range including novelty knits, oversized coat, and little dresses. There are limited supplies and Julie Gilhart, Barneys' fashion director, says "We're going to sell all of it." The collection uses trims and recycled fabric from previous collections and uses a low impact process to dye the clothes. Gilhart explains, "Stella is the most perfect person to start this with."
