Slim chance you'll catch all (any) of the shows at Chicago Fashion Week next Wednesday? Check out a different MoSS: the Museum of Sustainable Style, with its own free fashion and furniture exhibit by local designers. Get the, uh, skinny on the chic and organic fall line from Frei Designs (see photo), hip Noon Solar bags that charge your iPod or phone, and a Verde ottoman upholstered in biodegradable faux leather. Stop by next Saturday when green design pros share style tips, then sip cocktails by VeeV (yes, please) and cram in some Cru Cacao chocolates (we love art). New talent to spot: Kaelyn Garcia, who's helping to reduce the 600,000 tons of pesticides and chems sprayed on U.S. cotton fields each year with her romantic organic suede cotton dresses. Super.
