This month, both vintage and eco enthusiasts are flocking to Warwick, where during the month of November, the Echo Park boutique on Sunset will be hosting Eco in the Echo, featuring sustainable, locally made and eco-friendly fashion, design and art.
Owner Justin Warwick, whose one-year-old shop specializes in restyled and high-end vintage fashion and accessories, was keen on throwing an event that would not only encourage more involvement from the surrounding community, but also heighten people’s awareness of sustainable and socially responsible duds.
“I feel as a society we often are wasteful with valuable things and I think that perspective has enhanced my passion for sustainable fashion and design,” says owner Justin Warwick. “I believe there’s a way to look hot, unique, even extraordinary from something that already exists, is recycled and fabulous.”
Participating vendors this month include sustainable floral artist Chandra Abel Designs, designers Docs Pop, Button Muse, Nooworks and Joanna Oster. Plus, local eco graphic artists Colleen Corcoran and Joseph Prichard will be displaying and selling selections from their art collection.
“We as an American society are finally considering ways that as individuals we can have sustainable lifestyles,” says Warwick. “Including fashion into that environmental movement is fantastic, but more importantly supports a global issue. Eco in the Echo is all about recognizing that.”
And be sure to join Warwick and friends every third Wednesday of the month for Hospitality Night, from 8 p.m. to 1 a.m.
Location: Warwick, 1461 Sunset Blvd., Los Angeles, CA 90026 (between Short Stop and Little Joy). Website: www.warwickshop.com Email: info@warwickshop.com. Twitter: @warwickshop
