We want to give a shout out for darling designer Lara Miller. She will be showing this Wed. September, 16 at 11:00 AM as a part of The GreenShows. Lara Miller was chosen as part of a select group of designers for their fashion-forward sensibilities and ethical standards to present full runway shows. Miller’s collection kicks off the second day of The GreenShows. This is the first-ever group of sustainable fashion shows to be produced at NY Fashion Week. www.thegreenshows.com.We are very excited about this and are happy to be attending to cheer our fellow darling designer on.
Below is the info I found about the show from a press release:
“We should not have to sacrifice our planet for fashion. The fashion industry needs to be more accountable to environmental damage and pollution. While eco-designers are leading the way for a more sustainable lifestyle, without sacrificing style, prominent fashion designers need to take on more responsibility to safeguard our natural resources and achieve zero waste. The GreenShows is designed to foster and support eco-designers to continue creating fashion and as a platform to bring eco-fashion mainstream.”–Eric Dorfman, Founder of EdMedia Inc. and The GreenShows.
The GreenShows is proud to partner with the Rainforest Action Network (RAN) to host our opening night event on September 15. With their new campaign “Don’t Bag Indonesia’s Rainforests,” RAN is reaching out to over 100 fashion and luxury product companies who, some unknowingly, are using custom paper packaging such as shopping bags, made from the pulp of trees felled in the endangered tropical rainforests in Indonesia. Driven by market demand from the United States, the rapid destruction of Indonesia’s rainforests is causing massive global greenhouse gas emissions, destroying Indigenous communities, threatening unique ecosystems and pushing species like orangutans and Sumatran tigers to extinction.
With innovative green fashion also comes eco-friendly hair and makeup. The GreenShows is proud to announce John Masters Organics as our official hair sponsor and will announce our makeup sponsor shortly.
And extending beyond fashion and style, The GreenShows will also debut BodegaGreen, a replica of a neighborhood convenience store featuring a selection of lifestyle eco-products.
The GreenShows will follow a rigorous path, from top to bottom, to make sure the production is 100% environmentally-friendly and energy efficient. From the runway to the lighting, the design team will use recycled, recyclable, and compostable material to create a beautiful and resource conscious layout as a backdrop to the collections.
