Clean Up Fashion Action in New York

In the midst of a snowy New York Fashion Week, four exclusive fashion brands (Chanel, Dolce & Gabbana, Prada and Hermes) were greeted by "clean-up crews" challenging them to adopt forest friendly and toxic free policies. Activists decorated store windows with giant images of forest destruction and toxic pollution, and the invitation to be part of the solution. The brands visiting had one thing in common, besides decades of setting trends, they all ranked lowest in a recent Greenpeace survey of environmental policies for the world's leading fashion houses.
