This just in from the eco-fashion front: Organic designer (and sustainable-style pioneer) John Patrick has just been given his own show on Discovery’s Planet Green channel! Cameras will follow him and his team as they create his line, giving viewers an inside look at what it takes to make a green and ethical collection—from his studio in Albany to production in Manhattan to his Fashion Week presentation. Over the seasons, the fashion industry has watched the designer make beautiful, sustainable pieces that can stand on their own next to regular clothing, elevating the whole genre in the industry’s eyes. We’ve been inspired and enthralled by his worldwide quests for the perfect sustainable materials, like traveling to Peru to meet organic-cotton farmers, and his encyclopedic knowledge of the green movement. Now his fans, both old and new, can get a good look at his world. “I see this project as becoming part of the organic heritage of the twenty-first century,” says John Patrick. “It’s an amazing way to document and assist the entire movement forward for the next generation. We’ve made tremendous strides, and this project represents an investment in carrying the message about intelligent and conscious design.” Stay tuned—the series, fittingly called The John Patrick Show, will air sometime early next year.
