FutureFashion 2008
If Earth Pledge's latest FutureFashion event, a gala production that helped kick off NY's fall shows last week, is any indication, the fashion world seems to finally be keeping pace with the eco-minded cause. Sponsored by Among our favorite pieces of the evening, Moschino's organic silk dress printed with natural vegetable dye (above left) was accessorized with a heart-shaped necklace of resin and cotton cord with stones and wood and modeled by Liya Kedebe. Jessica Stam wore the Rodarte cocktail dress made from a blend of abaca/cotton/silk with piña cobweb (above right). A double layer chemise of organic wool/Peace silk with hemp and a silk underlayer by Behnaz Sarafpour was modeled by Irina Lazareanu (at left). Presented on a winding beautiful runway made from Kumbuc wood (which will be made into furniture), every effort was made to reduce the carbon footprint of the event. We hope FutureFashion's stunning mix of high fashion and eco-chic is a signal that the future has finally arrived. Images via Style.com
