They try
to ensure that all of the good things they are doing for your wardrobe
are not doing bad things to the environment by trading ethically
and making their catalogues greener. While we're on the subject,
a quick word on behalf of The Prince's Rainforests Project.
This admirable
charity is calling for urgent action to halt tropical deforestation
which accounts for approximately 17% of global carbon emissions,
(that's more than the entire global transport system put together).
From raincoats,
to party dresses, from quality knits to fabulous bags, Boden has
all your clothing requirements covered.

New York Fashion Week: Marc Jacobs' '70s show: At Marc Jacobs' spring/summer
show, the look was unmistakably Jodi Foster from the 1976 film "Taxi Driver."
Hearkening back to the 1970s, these are clothes for strutting your stuff and
looking like you're living large even if you're not -- long, floaty halter dresses
in geometric prints; slinky, one-shoulder striped jersey gowns; puffy sleeve
blouses worn with even puffier long skirts cinched with leather sashes and finished
off with overgrown corsages; zigzag patterned metallic knits and enormous straw
hats with the rims turned back. Suiting was a focus, but it was glam suiting,
such as a cropped butterscotch satin jacket and matching short-shorts, a sorbet
pink satin pants suit with flared trousers, or an over-sized blazer embroidered
with bands of silver and gold sequins, worn atop fluid cream silk crepe trousers.
It might not have been the most thought-provoking Marc Jacobs collection, but
it was exuberant, from the pink, purple, black and gold color palette to the
glitter-dusted platform sandals. Top it off with great-looking structured, flap-front
handbags, in vivid colors, and this collection should be money in the bank.
Australian fashion's pin-up boy Dion Lee just touched down in London Town to make his London Fashion Week debut with a collection inspired by breathing and the movement of air, with shoes by Kanye West, styling by Christine Centenera and a film by Lorin Askill contributing to a so-far critically applauded choreographed performance/catwalk/installation/presentation.
The collection of fifteen labour-intensive pieces began with Lee's signature take on tailoring, with menswear-style garments deconstructed to reveal tulle mesh panels that created a familiar Lee dynamic of internal/external structure that ran throughout the collection. Sheer organza overlays (especially those in red) gave an anatomical impression of flesh or soft muscle tissue, while light reflective fringe was draped and woven to give the impression of iridescent vein-like circulatory structures beneath the skin's surface, which isn't as grotesque as it sounds and is actually all kinds of radiant and wonderful.
