FASHION WEEK

Awww LA Fashion week is always a iffy situation. You never know who is going to show or where the runway will be. If its not an actress/heiress/reality star showing their new collection pool side at the Roosevelt, then it may be a designer with jumpsuits ,t-shirts and embellished denim walking the runway in the smash box studio tents. However there are times you may stumble across some pure west coast talent or even a greener approach to things!

We were lucky enough to find The Green Initiative show, introducing six eco friendly designers with a fresh take on a runway lined with bamboo!


With a dance theme assigned to each designer, the show started off with M for movement and break dancers clearing the runway for strong men’s looks including organic denim, wool sweaters, and buttons ups. Then Lady Muse, who used vintage and recycled textiles to make up beautifully tailored coats, dresses and vests. Andira Rain Tees followed with women's t-shirts and island-y type dresses covered with artwork done from children in central and south America, profits from the t-shirts will go to planting new trees in those areas. The show also had the most adorable kids tees! After, two Hula dancers introduce Lilikoi whose collection of organic cotton, soy and bamboo made up wrap dresses, tees and pencil skirts with hawaiian theme water prints. Vintage China had chinese scarf dancers began there show of men's and women's wear. Button up’s, military style jackets and denim detailed with screen prints of company’s chinese lettering. The highlight of the collection was a gorgeous denim evening gown made from recycled denim. Patched worked with a huge train that the model had to carry down the runway. Very “Levis” challenge Project runway, but we adored it!

Lastly was Rene Geneva’s designs with corset-based dresses and skirts. The corsets, especially being made from organic textile were very impressive.

The clothes look fun, but I'm not sure how "green" they all are. It seems like bamboo and soy are way over-hyped... check out this article: http://www.faircompanies.com/main.aspx?uc=notampl& id=361&sec=1
