H&M Lying About 'Organic' Cotton

The German Financial Times, after some testing, has revealed that the large store chain, H&M has been fibbing about their “certified organic” cotton products. Although rumors have been spread about them destroying and throwing out old clothing, this may be just a tad worse. The labeled organic cotton products have been proved to contain genetically modified cotton from India. The blame may be on the organic-certification agencies, according to authorities in India. However, H&M should be looking further into their products they are selling to consumers who believe they are getting a product that is better for the environment. Those consumers will most likely be unhappy to know that a store they trust has been lying about products that are supposed to be making a difference. - Emily Ekern

Elisabetta Canalis for Roberto Cavalli Underwear *VIDEO

Elisabetta Canalis (also known as George Clooney's leading lady) is the woman representing Roberto Cavalli Underwear in their Spring/Summer 2010 campaign. Eva Cavalli was the art director for the shoot, which was shot in London in November and has a nineteenth century feel including Louis XVI style sofas, gilded mirrors, and baroque upholstery. Photographers Mert Alas and Marcus Piggot shot Canalis in a matching underwear set of animal print satin and black, a suspender belt, and a marabou feather trimmed silk robe. The line is sensual, seductive, and feminine, and they wanted the campaign to represent that. Roberto Cavalli said, “For my next underwear collection I was inspired by a real woman, with appeal, charisma and sensuality. [Elisabetta’s] Mediterranean beauty and intense appeal interpret an intriguing super-feminine woman.”
