Environmentally Elegant


Everyone is gaga for anything “green” these days, and it’s not the color that I’m referring to. Captain Planet is hip again and it is no longer safe to walk into Whole Foods without an uber trendy canvas tote. Finally something fashionable we don’t have to feel guilty about buying.

Clothing designers are joining the fight against pollution. The fabulous Phillip Lim has started an eco-friendly 10-peiece collection, Go Green Go. All the clothing is made of sustainable fabrics, and is ethically produced. The color palette is earthy and chemical dye-free. The line consists of pieces such as embroidered tunics, hand-pleated asymmetrical frocks, and biker jackets.

Although the collection doesn’t show much variety yet, the pieces are simple and chic. I think only good things can come from this ethical fashion hype. It is the beginning of a beautiful and environmentally sound trend.
