Small Changes Add Up
If 10,000 Chicago Biters choose a bamboo dress instead of one made with synthetic fabric, we’ll keep the weight of 100 Nicole Richies in nonbiodegradable fibers outta production.

Cocktail Tidbit
Bamboo is the fastest-growing plant on Earth, with a documented growth rate of up to 121 centimeters in 24 hours.

Hunting for some hip new clothes that’ll make you look almost famous? Wrap ’n’ roll one of local talent Lara Miller’s modular, chic designs around your bad self. Made from eco-friendly fibers such as hemp and supersoft bamboo (a rapidly renewable resource that naturally wicks moisture, resists odor, and protects against UV rays), you can wear her versatile, high-end sweaters, dresses, and tops in tons of different ways. For a Behind the Music-type look at Lara’s work, check out the Jun. 10 episode of Big Ideas for a Small Planet, the Sundance Channel’s series on green innovation (or meet the lady herself this Fri. at Pivot's early screening party/trunk show). Meanwhile, we’ll keep gushing like groupies about the Sylvia blouse (see photo).

Wanna Try?
Lara Miller; screening/trunk show, May 9, 3-8 p.m. at Pivot; Jun. 10, 8 p.m. on Sundance Channel's Big Ideas for a Small Planet; clothes also available at p.45, Floradora, and online at Studio-808. Sylvia blouse, $240.
