DESCRIPTION:From Birkenstock to Bloomingdale's, environmentally conscious companies 
 have been raising their profiles in the fashion industry. This past decade 
 has witnessed the birth of eco-fashion - stylized clothing that uses 
 environmentally sustainable materials and responsible production 
 techniques. But is eco-fashion really as sensitive as it claims to be, or 
 is this just another superficial fashion hype? What are the forces driving 
 eco-fashion forward? Will consumers always have to balance fashion against 
 sustainability and cost? And if so, what factors affect these decisions? A 
 panel of industry experts - including fashion designers and boutique owners 
 - discusses the eco-fashion movement, its attributes and its 
 future.\n\nTITLE:	Eco-Fashion: From Birkenstock to
