Be the Change - what will this mean in our lives as we travel through our human journey?

by the power to think organic, not only do I look for a more natural quality product, I find myself to be empowered by my consumer choice. I see that each purchase represents the change I want to see in the market place. I can literally see this change growing year after year in every commercial aspect of my American life style.

First question, will we as empowered consumers transcend this consciousness to other aspects of our lives? Social - emotional, Political - economical ....

My second question -
Impeachment ?
where is Obama on this issue?
Please, for someone who stands for change - why not take office with a bang!!! There is too much at stake, we need to hold these criminals accountable no matter how much time is left in their term. It appears that for the next administration to be truly credible, be it Obama and the Democrats, they would need to take out the trash before they could honestly take back the white house.

Think Organic & green media partners present: EcoNouveau LA Green Fashion Event on Saturday, October 13, 2007
at Vibiana in downtown Los Angeles.


I met Rob Ganger founder of Eco Nouveau at the San Francisco Green Festival www.greenfestivals.org in 2006. After getting reacquainted in Los Angeles he invited me to help shoot Eco Nouveau's spectacular ECO Fashion Show in down town LA. Afterwords I teamed up with WSR Creative, a talented production team based out of LA, to assist in the editing of this exciting and educational green fashion event. enjoy! - Tomas, www.thinkorganic.com



EcoNouveau is inspired by the nature based, cross-disciplinary movement and sees many similarities to the burgeoning, contemporary 'green' focus on the planet. We have added a 'psychedelegant' twist to the mix and offer you our first event where we have curated the most cutting edge eco-fashion designers, visionary artists and musical genius of Dublab, LA's finest musician/dj collective. We will also showcase businesses that are committed to environmental sustainability and social justice, and NGO partners who are doing exemplary work that warrants your attention.

AMANDA SHI is a trailblazing designer who launched AVITA to create glamorous fashions that uses sustainable materials as a way of maintaining a respect for the environment. Amanda has always considered fashion her most enduring passion. After designing for other lines, Amanda decided to launch her own label in 2003 with an initial collection of twenty-five styles. Avita's success was immediate as buyers, fashion industry insiders and shoppers were equally captivated by the collection's progressive style, luxury and inimitable glamour. Her main source of inspiration remains nature itself, drawing on its rich palette for colors and materials. She introduced bamboo into Avita and drew attention to a remarkably soft and fabulous fabric as a natural and superior alternative. Bamboo as a material is not only an organic resource but it also works well with how Amanda creates body-fitting silhouettes. Amanda's fashion sensibility has made Avita a consistent bestseller while she continues to address the pressing issue of environmental consciousness. The demand for the line has increased so dramatically from the first collection that Amanda stepped up the brand by opening the first flagship store - Avita Co-Op - in hip West Hollywood, CA. Looking ahead, Amanda is certain that fashion will continue to evolve to promote not only a liberating sense of self expression but a healthy respect for the resources of the planet. She says, "Avita is about a lifestyle that celebrates fashion while reminding us that we can all do something about preserving our environment for generations to come."

As a leading brand strategist and the former Creative Director of Levi's Europe, Harvey's fashion credentials include work with Adidas, Stussy, Junya Watanabe and Vivienne Westwood. The driving passion behind his signature designs is the re-contextualization of iconic, everyday garments to create dramatic new silhouettes that give new life to disposable items.
