Source4Style goes green for summer in NYT.

CEO/Co-founder Summer Rayne Oakes was recently interviewed by The New York Times T Magazine Style section in “Going Green for Summer.” Check out the whole article here and highlights below.

“[Source4Style] is an online exchange that connects fashion designers with suppliers who traffic in sustainable materials. “Let’s say you wanted to make that outfit” — she points to The Moment’s vintage blazer — “in sustainable tweed, organic cotton and maker buttons. You could go online, source the material, see what inventory the suppliers had, and get a sustainability rating,” she says. “It’s a design and innovation platform to really get the cool (stuff) out there.”
