What is Cashmere and How to Shop for it (video)

Where does cashmere come from? Why is it so expensive? Is all cashmere created equally? “Fine cashmere comes from a longer fiber,” she says. “What you want to look for in better cashmere is that it has a longer fiber. It will be more sturdy and will have a better drape to it. Cheaper cashmere usually has a shorter fiber and can break or pill and won’t last as long.” Check out the Sharon Haver’s related video on how to care for and store your cashmere.If you haven’t yet met the StyleList Network, a group of first-rate fashion bloggers, please do.

Luxe Style Staple: Christopher Fischer Cashmere Scarf
From luxist.com
Filed under: Apparel, Men’s Style
After searching for a cashmere scarf in just the right shade of olive green for some time, we recently came across this natty number from Christopher Fischer. Paired here with a classic and well-worn Barbour Bedale jacket and fleece Connaught sweater jacket from Private Stock, it’s finished in a good mid-season weight with enough length to double over for the “Euro” knot when extra insulation is called for. Fischer, a self-described cashmere addict, has product ranges including men’s, women’s, home and travel, with boutiques in New York City, Southampton, East Hampton and Greenwich, CT. He founded the company 25 years ago in the town of Hawick in the borders of Scotland, the birthplace of the Scottish cashmere industry.

A Sexy Look at New Green Fashion from Hessnatur
From thedailygreen.com
Ecofashion designer Eviana Hartman was generous enough to take me through her capsule collection for Hessnatur, now available online.
Whether you want to call it classic, travel-ready, or just plain fiscally responsible, choosing clothes that will last you for years is the smart (and ecofriendly) way to dress. German label Hessnatur specializes in basics made with high quality fabrics, all of which are sustainably grown and/or produced by people who are paid a fair wage.
They relaunched the brand a couple years back when they brought reknowned designer Miguel Adrover on as lead designer, and now they’ve gotten Eviana Hartman, who designs her own line, Bodkin, to create a collection-within-a-collection for them for Autumn 2010 (and moving into the future). Check out the video above for a close look at the collection, shown by Eviana. The very versatile silk/cotton/cashmere long sweater is supersoft and can be wrapped and layered every which way from Autumn through late Spring.
See the Timeless Style of New Green Fashion
From thedailygreen.com Stewart + Brown has been making eco-fashion since 2002, and from the very first collection I spied in late 2004 until today, the brand has been defined by an incredible sense of classy sophistication, without ever being considered old ladyesque (though I’ve always felt that most of the companies’ pieces, and especially it’s knits, could be worn by women 16-90). The company’s style has a definite California vibe (they are LA-based) but the warm knits are perfect for Northeastern winters as well. And did I mention comfy enough to wear while on a cross-country flight, but lovely enough for dinner with the parents?
As you’ll see in the video tour below, the company’s designers are constantly innovating with new, natural materials, like yak, hemp blends, organic cotton and Mongolian cashmere (and as described in the video, they work directly with collectives in Tibet and Mongolia to create their signature knits).
The company was also a sponsor of the Project Green Search Model competition, providing ensembles for the finalists to model as part of their photo shoots. Their Fall/Winter 2010 collection is filled with gorgeous pieces; I’ve picked just a few of my favorites below.
Keep Cozy with Organic Knits
From thedailygreen.com If I spend a bit on any one piece of clothing this winter, it will be a gorgeous knit. I’ve found that over the years, the pieces I’ve kept the longest from the cold seasons have been sweater-dressing separates; a great wool dress, a chunky knit vest, fine-gauge tights from Germany, my favorite scarf. Below are top contenders for space in my closet. I love a great red sweater, and this one from Stewart & Brown has a beautiful asymmetrical button-front and a cable knit throughout. I especially like the detail at the collar and those fantastic pockets. Made from 100% Mongolian cashmere (and seen on Michelle Williams in Vogue). Lutz and Patmos (available at Barney’s and through their own site) is synonymous with sustainable sweaterings; I heard the design team there speak a year ago and their passion for waste-free and long-lasting, high quality yarns was impressive. And their cuts and colors are that perfect cross between modern and classic that means they’re wearable forever. My neck always gets cold in the Winter, even when no other part of my body is, so a chunky neckwarmer that can go as well over a thick sweater for a hike, or over pajamas when I set the thermostat low is an ideal piece. Made from 100% eco friendly Merino wool from Uruguay. I am in love with this vest, but like you, wonder how practical it could be for regular wear. But what is life if one is practical all the time? Some of my oddest clothes have made- and stayed- in heavy rotation. One statement piece like this one makes the rest of the ensemble simple; Made from organic wool by Thieves Boutique.

cashmere sweaters and other cashmere pieces. Dry clean or handwash? “Unless it is something you really got very dirty, the longer you can go without cleaning it, it seems to work better with cashmere,” says Haver. “You can handwash it or use a very gentle cycle in a good washing machine that won’t beat it up. Use cold water and a delicate laundry detergent, or even shampoo.”
