I never thought I'd be the sort of blogger to broadcast my own operation, but here goes nothing:

I first heard of Junky Styling from Mathilda Tham -- you may remember her as the brainy beauty from Sweden.closettour who introduced me to the intersection between environmentalism, psychology and my closet. Then, Hazel Clark, the Parsons dean who is helping me explore solutions for slowing down the fashion calendar, tipped me off the designers would be installed at a SoHo gallery for a few days of surgery.

Like the women who recommended them, Kerry and Annika are whip-smart and stylish in their thinking about sustainable solutions for the fashion industry. But they also have the sensitivity required for even the most fragile patient. (I teared up a few weeks ago when my friend Kristen suggested an old birthday dress was destined for donation.) Smarts, style and sensitivity -- that's what it's going to take to lead the charge for more environmentally-friendly fashion.

I'm still losing the battle against those bags in my living room, but at least I've liberated a few old favorites. My next mission: I'm lobbying for a New York City branch for Junky Styling.
