Like Prada, there are a handful of designers over the past decade who have made headlines with fabric. In the mid-1990s, Helmut Lang and Jil Sander started incorporating techno-fabrics like nylon and carbon into more traditional weaves, giving them a lighter hand or a three-dimensional quality. They pushed the boundaries, often employing far-out materials like rubber and plastic. More recently, Alexander McQueen has expressed a ghostly romantic vibe with fine spiderweb netting. Francisco Costa has been playing with perforated latex and stretch scuba at Calvin Klein. And at Fendi, Karl Lagerfeld reintroduced the idea of rubber...

...California alone, the loser is clear: personal freedom. For two centuries, humans have essentially had free reign to pollute the atmosphere as they wish without consequence. But these days are no longer. Nearly every crucial human activity today—agriculture, transportation, heating, construction—ultimately adds more carbon dioxide to the atmosphere than it removes, and our lifestyles will have to change drastically if we want our planet to survive. We’re about to lose more than just the freedom to choose light bulbs, but that’s the price we’ll have...
