eco fashion

thursday night i attended 'green with envy fashion experience' in hollywood, an eco-fashion event hosted by janice dickinson and presented by reality cares and gaudy pr. it featured a fashion show by 4 designers including deborah lindquist one of the most sought after environmentally-conscious designers. she uses sustainable materials like hemp, organic cotton and organic wool, plus recycled cashmere, repurposed kimonos and saris, and vintage silk scarves. the most important factor of all is of course that the designs are beautiful and comfortable. just as with eco-friendly interior design, it's not good enough that a design is green, it must also be beautiful and functional.
