Are luxury goods makers shifting attention to their eco quotient to save face as their market flags? The Wall Street Journal reports on recent steps high-end companies have taken to express commitment to environmental pursuits, such as Tiffany & Co. devoting its window displays to a showcase of its coral reef protection efforts and Barneys’ promotion of Keds by Loomstate organic sneakers.
We’re just days away from the big reveal of Fashion’s Night Out, and Opening Ceremony—whose boutique reach now spans New York, Los Angeles and Japan—is adding a dash of authentic American style through product collaborations with Keds and Pro-Keds. The stores will be representing each brand through an array of exclusive kicks inspired by their classic heritage: think red, white and blue; staple bandanna prints; and simple canvas sneakers with contrast-color laces. What better way to get Americans shopping again than baiting them with some homegrown Americana style?
