How Do You Love Your World?

“I love the beauty in creative expression. Fashion, music and art are three forms in which I express myself and am touched by others doing so,” says Vanessa Diaz, founder of Moxie Industries, an animal-friendly and eco-conscious company that produces and distributes eco-friendly fashions, music and art. The company is launching with a selection of Certified Organic Cottons T-shirts, glam-rock and classic jeans, art made with recycled products and music from earth-friendly artists, delivered through environmentally sound downloads, not CDs.

Founded by musical artist Vanessa Diaz, Moxie Industries’ original Certified Organic Cotton T-shirt line features “Sammy Green,” a cartoon character with a green brain, reminding people to think green with messages like: Recycle, Ride a Bike, Plant a Tree, Car Pool and Solar Powered, in men’s and women's styles that include crew neck, scoop neck and v-neck t-shirts and spaghetti tank tops.

The company's environmental commitment is reflected in the signature green stitching in the clothing line, which includes twill shorts, a denim skirt and several styles of jeans, each named after flowers that represent qualities Diaz believes are important:

Camellia (graciousness) = straight leg jeans
Azalea (abundance) = boot cut jeans
Peony (healing) = wide leg seamed jeans
Iris (inspiration) = R&R bell jean
Zinnia (goodness) = skinny scrunch jeans

The rock star R&R Bell jean has interchangeable panels on the sides so people can have two different looks from one pair of jeans. R&R can represent “reuse and recycle” or “rock and roll.”
