Sustainable Fashion at The 84th Academy Awards

The 84th Academy Awards held last night got everyone talking about Angelina's Jolie's Leg. Yes, you are still reading the blog on Sustainable Fashion and Retail, but who says, that I cannot write about the  latest social media Buzz!? Aneglina Jolie's Leg not only just got herself a Twitter account with close to around 30,000 followers, but also got a Facebook page. Well worth the laugh for the most sexy lady on the Red Carpet yesternight, but apart from that a lot of other renowned actors and actresses stepped up their game by walking down wearing "Sustainable Fashion" on the Red Carpet. Looks like the new Red Carpet is turning quite Green with age.

Wool reigns Fall/Winter 2012 - Ethical Luxury

This year 'wool' is seen to reign over the Green Shows' Presentation in New York Fashion  Week. Organic fibers have been the key focus of eco-fashion all along, but it was interesting to see the shift in fabrics being dominated by heritage wool solely throughout the show.

For Fall/Winter 2012, designs were simple and yet striking. Extensive use of eco-dying methods were exhibited along with artful drapes of fabric and hair on the Runway. Apart from tones and shades of just green there were to be seen a myriad of other color tones and shades from use of vegetable dyeing sources.
