A Loomstate State of Mind

The deep-V design, which sells for $40 (for the 40th Anniversary of Earth Day), comes in your usual New Yorker hues — namely, black, white and gray — but also in the colors of the NBC peacock. Gilhart, it turns out, is also one of the headliners for Christie’s’ first ever “green” auction, A Bid to Save the Earth, and NBC has signed on as a media sponsor.

A Barneys girl likes a sexy tee, so we wanted to give her an organic option,” says the store’s fashion director and eco-crusader, Julie Gilhart, of Barneys’ Earth Day collaboration with Loomstate. “We wanted to do a blank T-shirt with a sexy fit like Alexander Wang or the Row, and we wanted to make it all organic but affordable, too.”

The live auction on April 22, which benefits the N.R.D.C., the Central Park Conservancy, Oceana and Conservation International, includes such fashionable prizes as lunch with Vera Wang — plus a $10,000 shopping spree at her flagship store — and a fitting with Stella McCartney for bespoke his and hers suits. For Gilhart, creating such fashion synergy is all in a day’s work: “We just thought, Hey we’re all on the same page, so let’s get together.”
