vogue.comAfter doing research on Oscar de la Renta's organic wedding dress last week, I stumbled upon the Runway to Green fashion show in partnership with Christie's "Bid to Save the Earth
program. It was a true gem and chock full of great effort put forth by the fashion industry to save the earth.
This charity event consisted of a runway show and an auction to benefit the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC). A-list stars and fashion insiders all showed up to show their support.
The show, party, and auction were an obvious success, raising $2 million for environmental causes in the first 2 hours.
And Nicki Manaj showed up for a surprise performance of "Monster" and styled her hair to match the shrubbery. Would you expect anything else from her?
24 designers including Burberry, Yves Saint Laurent, Alexander Wang, and Marni were told to either dedicate a piece from their Fall 2011 collection or create their own for the Runway to Green show. The designers also committed further to the environment by working with NRDC's Clean by Design program to make their businesses more sustainable and environmentally-friendly. It directly addresses the pollution and efficiency problems created by the textile industry.
Some looks from the runway show:
I love this Marni look. Swim cap? Bonnet? Beanie? and necklace made from recycled plastic bottles.
Thakoon look. Love the high/low/mullet skirt trend.
Osklen, a Brazilian brand I've never heard of but another one of my favorite looks. Creatively used organically dyed salmon skin (typically wasted) to make the purse and shoes which you can't exactly see.
Burberry obviously. So sharp.
The best part? The collection available on net-a-porter.com Shop it here!
Next week I'll be reporting eco-friendly sunglasses, so stay tuned.
