Will fashion save us?

Stella McCartney, Marc Jacobs, Jill Sander, Burberry, Ralph Lauren, Calvin Klein, Donna Karan, Narciso Rodriguez and Versace are among the designers that have signed up to take part in a special show to raise awareness of ethical issues in fashion. Each will create a one-of-a-kind design for Earth Pledge's FutureFashion catwalk show on January 31, with the aim of promoting "renewable, reusable and non-polluting materials and methods", WWD reports. The high-profile event will take place at New York's Gotham Hall to kick off Fashion Week in the city. The designs will later be displayed in the windows of Barney's on Madison Avenue.
