Environmentally conscious fashion designer Stella McCartney loves Bambi and so do we, for fall ‘09 her ad campaign was Bambi-inspired and shot by Ryan McGinley in the woods of Worcestershire, England featuring Model Sigrid Agren. If you have been following Stella’s work, you’ll probably know that for her LeSportsac collaboration it consists of an animal her son picks out every season which is really cute. The campaign features “cinema’s most famous deer and his pals Thumper, Friend Owl, Flower the skunk — and assorted butterflies and bluebirds.” Look out for the campaign in the September issues of the glossies. “I’m...

Featured on Kanye West’s blog this morning under the title “OH IT’S LIKE THAT NOW???!!!! LET’S GO!!! PRETTY SOON WE ALL WILL DRESS SUPER FRESH” was a preview of ADIDAS SLVR’S (their eco-line that we inform you about daily here on GreenJAR.net) men’s line for FALL. And we must say, we agree with West. But you be the judge. What are your thoughts on the new duds from the SLVR line. “Marking their Fall 2009 season, adidas present a preview into their fashion-geared SLVR sub label, which represents the middle ground between their Originals range and the more high end Y-3...
RedFerret fairly bashes this bag, saying it’s simply ugly and useless. They have a point – it’s pretty simple, and that bitty little solar cell isn’t likely to gather much energy, though they claim 5 hours in the sun will charge up a cell phone. But, after recently calling upon designers to quit dreaming up ugly solar clothing, we’re thinking that this bag, with it’s understated integration of solar cells, might just be going in the right direction, even if it hasn’t yet arrived. Let’s look at a few of the other solar bag ideas out there, and then see...
You’re a free bird, a girl that likes her options. But constantly changing your look means finding enough shoes to match, and that can be tiring, not to mention expensive. This summer, try Tia’s Freestyle Sandals for all your footwear needs – just one sandal base gives limitless possibility! Each vegetable-tanned leather base comes bare, ready for you to select the interchangeable top straps of your choice – stick to choosing from the vintage silk straps made from recycled saris until the cotton straps are produced organically (the sari straps have brighter, more interesting colors anyway). Or, make your own out of old clothing...
ADIDAS SLVR has just released a preview of their UNLIMITED EDITION TEE for Fall! The single cut neckline and flutter short sleeves paired with large graphics gives this tee a modern look. This is released as a part of the line’s Fall/Winter 09 collection and will be available at select retailers and Adidas SLVR boutiques. I’m really really feeling it! And apparently so is KANYE: http://www.kanyeuniversecity.com/blog/?em3106=236512_-1__0_~0_-1_7_2009_0_0&em3298=&em3282=&em3281=&em3161=...
Last night two of my favorite passions came together: the environment and high end fashion. Louis Vuitton helped mark the 40th anniversary of the first lunar landing with a beautiful star-studded party at the Museum of Natural History in Manhattan. Their newest campaign, featuring Jim Lovell, commander of NASA’s Apollo 13 mission, Buzz Aldrin, the second man to set foot on the moon, and Sally Ride, the first woman in space, launched (no pun intended) last night as well. Television fashionistas Jessica Szohr and Whitney Port, singers Lance Bass, Estelle and Cassie, my bff June Ambrose, and a very pregnant Victoria’s...
We’ve been waiting a long time for these Melissa Ultragirl flats in super rare clear. Finally! These comfy eco-flats let you show off your summer pedicure through their frosty ice finish. And they feature the tiny peephole that is a signature Melissa touch. As Planet Green points out, eco-fashionistas have had to say no to jellies for a long time because of their earth-unfriendly factor, but Melissa has changed all of that. Their jellies are made out of MEFLEX, a patented non-toxic plastic and their factory runs on a closed loop system. Now you can have your jellies and eat them too! Well, not quite, but you...
How harmful are your jeans? If they’re made of cotton, they most likely went through a process that included nasty pesticides, polluting dyes and waste-generating production before you decided to put them on your legs. But it doesn’t have to be that way. Singer Alanis Morissette and actor Woody Harrelson have teamed up to bring us Reco Jeans, which are made with 50% recycled denim. That might not seem like a lot – ideally it would be 100%, but Reco is one of the only jeans companies that has been able to get it to even that level. To make things...
