Founded in 1870; historic Irvington serves as a time capsule to the bygone days of the Victorian and Edwardian eras. The once autonomous community along the Pennsylvania Railroad and U.S. Route 40 has a history as rich and spellbinding as the legendary tales of its namesake; Washington Irving. Featuring plenty of architectural diversity and notable citizens; Irvington served as the original home to Butler University and became known as a cultural; arts; and academic pillar of the Indianapolis landscape. Today Irvington continues to be the gem of Indianapolisrsquo;s east side with locally owned shops and businesses along with a community that is committed to the past while focusing on the future.

Review
14 of 14 people found the following review helpful. By People Tree. for People TreeBy RebekahThis book had plenty of beautiful photographs. and a lot of interesting information about sweatshop labor and sustainable fashion... but I came away feeling like Id just read one LONG ad for the People Tree company. I think every interview was with a People Tree collaborator. model. makeup artist. etc.. The book did reference some other sustainable companies and tried to deliver an important message. but I still felt a bit tricked.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. not informativeBy yarootkaBecause of the headline I was expecting to find some revealing information about the industry. But there you can find just a series of emotional interviews. where different people share their attitude to the concept of sustainable fashion. May be inspirational for some readers. but for me the book lacks the narrative and educational value.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. awarenessBy M. J. Janse RensburgSafia Minney and the people she highlights are doing wonderful work and more should be done. The book is written as short anecdotal snippets and is a quick read. It is a good intro into this field. I would have liked more detail.
