Eileen Fisher is a clothing company whose main target audience is women and girl consumers. Its product line is committed to consumers who want beautiful apparel for every day real life. The style is minimalist and its core concept is sustainability. The vision of the company is rooted in the idea that clothing should have a “distinctive aesthetic” while a clothing company should maintain “an ongoing commitment to supporting women and making a positive impact in the world” (Eileen Fisher, Inc., 2018). The Eileen Fisher company had $3 million in sales and generated a profit of a quarter of a million dollars. The company’s annual revenue is around $500 million (Fernandez, 2017).Its position on sustainability is that the fashion industry has to do more to address the needs of the environment and of the global culture. The company seeks to solve environmental issues while also supporting the role of women in society. With respect to productions, the company’s sustainability leader Shona Quinn states, “Our environmental vision is holistic. We believe in paying attention to what happens in the field, the dyehouse and our customers' washing machines. Our goal is to design out negative impacts—and design in positive change” (What We Do, 2018). By using sustainable fibers, less waste, less energy, and less fuel in production, and by recycling old clothing into new garments, Eileen Fisher reduces landfill and greenhouse gas emissions and promotes forest conservation.

Analysis of the Field Sustainability is a concept that is receiving attention in numerous industries—from auto manufacturing to accounting (Bouten & Hoozee, 2015; Kwangeson, 2014).

It seems to her, says Flaubert, that her being, rising toward God, is going to be annihilated in love like burning incense that dissipates in vapor. But her response during this phenomenon remains curiously erotic... The waving of the green palm leaves relates this scene to the previous scenes of sexual seduction. (Duncan para, 5) At times, the green in the novel moves from springtime to the idea of the
Jonestown, in Guyana, is a contemporary example of what would be classified as a utopian community.) In a wave of successfully created "utopian" architecture, modern architects from Virilio to Le Corbusier, Louis I Kahn and Aldo Van Eyck, invented welcoming environments that transcended the "limitations of both the postmodern and hyper-modern stance and orthodox modernist architecture" (Coleman, p. 332).
