Alanis Morissette and Woody Harrelson Create Eco-Friendly Denim

90's celebs, and unlikely duo, Alanis Morissette & Woody Harrelson have teamed up to create a line of jeans that are environmentally friendly. The line, called Reco Jeans, are produced using recycled denim, but get this You will determine the price...sort of. In order to determine what potential customers will pay for the jeans, they're holding a Dutch Auction. Customers will bid on the jeans and then the information will be used to determine what people are willing to pay. As an incentive 300 box sets (jeans and IPod case) will be given to the bidders that come closest to the average bid.

New Organic Clothing Line... Orgotton (Organic+Cotton)

While 'The Green Baroness' and I were having a blast at the "Green with Fashion" event on Earth day, we ran into a few upcoming designers.. one which really caught our eye, Orgotton... 
a hip clothing company, which is upcoming and still bringing more pieces into their collection. Here is The Green Baroness blogstress with the Co-owner, Kristy Emery.. 
Can't wait to hear more from this brand! Positive actions=Fabulous Clothing :)

LEVI'S RED Spring/Summer 2009 Collection

The new Levi's Red Spring/Summer '09 collection continues to push the boundaries of innovation while remaining true to the brand's heritage. Inspired by the craftsmanship of early denim workwear, this collection reflects the traditional construction process when fabric was precious and waste was not wasted. A minimum of 92% raw materials are used to product each individual garment with the remaining fabric being used to product collectible Levi's Red packaging. Due to this back-to-basics production technique, each denim garment is individual and unique. The collection features guys and girls and unisex styles. Made from double selvage fabric, the natural shade of the indigo with cotton hemp composition is unstructured. I love the slogan on the inside patch - "Not the cheapest but the best". How true.
Levis is making a comeback in the US market for sure!

Green Fashion becoming Mainstream



As we all know... well some of don't, tomorrow is Earth Day!  April 22nd, woo hoo!!
This year to celebrate the day I am heading out to the "Green with Fashion" event happening in Philadelphia with another Fashionista friend of mine... The Green Baroness, she runs a Eco-Fashion Blog.

Green with Fashion is a charity, eco-fashion show, which will spotlight designers from all over the country. The idea for the event was first created as a senior project at Drexel University (Philadelphia, PA), but has since evolved into a way to not only celebrate eco-conscious designers, but educate the community on environmental issues.

More than 30 designers and boutiques have agreed to take part in the event and have their designs in the show. In addition to locally- and nationally-known designers, Drexel fashion design students will also be unveiling their eco-friendly sportswear collections. Instead of using unnecessary paper waste to advertise, Green with Fashion will be utilizing online advertising, including websites, blogs, and Facebook.

I, myself am still learning about this side of the Fashion world, but I am open to it all!
Be ready for my upcoming post for all the pictures of the event!

It will be held at this fab place above, the old Real World House Philadelphia, also known as F.U.E.L.
