last night i attended the fabulous westweek party at the recenlty opened l.a. edelman leather showroom at the p.d.c. in west hollywood. the event was complete with glenlivet scotch and a glenlivet representative dressed in gorgeous native attire (his knee-high socks were my favorite!). the party was well attended including my friend and colleague kathy pryzgoda of light studio l.a. who designed the showroom's lighting (pictured with me to the left). the best part was meeting jon edelman, president and 2nd generation in the family tannery!
without changing a thing in their processing, this award-winning organization recently received certfication by greengaurd. along these lines, it's important to keep in mind that their full-grain luxury leathers are a by-product of the meat industry. not only great for upholstery but also floor tiles and tables so check out the huge array of colors, textures and patterns on their website.
Yay...the blog is back! The hiatus of postings on here was surely not due to a shortage of green happenings or products. In fact, there seem to be more fantastic sustainable stuff out there than ever. So, my excuse is that I was sidetracked by my lastest design project, the eco-luxury spa at Casa del Mar in Santa Monica. Stay tuned for photos but also please stop by any day 11-7 and see for yourself how elegant and luxurious green can be! Last Tuesday I attended EcoStiletto's Green Girl's Night Out at Intuition. Guests brought gently worn shoes for Dress for Success (including a pair from my closet which I wore once over the last few years so thankfully someone else will enjoy them and they'll stop collecting dust!) and enjoyed music from a solar-powered DJ, organic food by Ciudad and Border Grill, drinks by O.N.E. (including Acai which was delicious over ice), cool green (of course!) bracelets promoting the Green Youth Movement, an interactive installation for Lips Against Lead by Teeens for Safe Cosmetics and canvas totes by Green Works (supported by the Sierra Club). One of my favorite parts of the evening were the adorable, stylish, vegan and fair-trade ballerina slippers by Do-Ni. Oh and 100% of retail profits goes to a participating non-profit of your choice. How cool! Pictured above with one of the shoes is Dana Luong from Do-Ni and her cute baby and the other image is me trying the shoes on at the event.
