On December 4, 2009 sideRACK.net was launched, a new concept online retail store offering sales, rentals, and custom orders on designer products.

Cristina Montesinos, the creator of sideRACK.net, came up with this non-traditional concept in (as a) result of how the recession had affected her career and her closet. Months earlier, prior to sideRACK’s launch, she had been laid off from her position as a Designer at a small Fashion firm due to the company’s closing. After this great misfortune, she found herself in a position of uncertainty, the only thing she knew for sure was that she loved to work and purchase from young designer fashion brands, and that was the sector that was being hit the hardest in the current recession.

GREEN FASHION IS MORE THAN A PASSING TREND: LEADING ECO-DESIGN WEBSITE INHABITAT.COM

NEW YORK, NY (September 23, 2009)—In an effort to highlight the critical environmental impact of clothing design, leading green design website Inhabitat.com has announced the official launch of its new eco-fashion site, Ecouterre.com. Aiming to dispel the disparaging stereotypes that still cling to “eco fashion” and reverse the frivolous connotation associated with fashion design in general, Ecouterre.com wants to change people’s minds about what “fashion” is: moving beyond fleeting fads and mindless consumerism to a smarter understanding of what goes into the textiles that we wrap around our bodies on a daily basis. Ecouterre approaches fashion from a design perspective, and it maintains that like any other form of design (architecture, product design, urban design), fashion design can, and should be better, smarter, and more socially and environmentally responsible.

Ecouterre could not have come at a more relevant time. The plight of the economy has forced people to open their eyes to our limited resources, and the trend toward frugality has actually bolstered the sustainability movement by encouraging consumers to be smarter about their spending and more creative with their resources. In addition, clothing manufacturers are shifting their modes of production. In 2006, retail sales of organic cotton products reached $1.1 billion globally—85 percent higher than the year before, according to the Organic Exchange—which presents telling evidence that “green” is finally becoming a selling point for consumers.
