Sustainable Fashion has come so far. Case in point, today’ presentation of The Green Shows at New York’s Mercedes Benz fashion week. A line reminiscent of last year’s Alexander McQueen exhibit at the MET snaked around the corridor—camera crews and curious fashion mavens awaiting the show, all aglow with the green buzz.
And buzz-worthy it was, not just for it’s “greenness” but equally for its fashion. Julia Ragolia, Ready to Wear stylist for the show, told me, “To me it was about showing that eco fashion is fashionable. It’s like mainstream fashion.” Just what our fashion hungry and eco-needing world has been craving.
Here are a few of my favorite looks, from some of my favorite eco fashion designers:
