 Green
with Fashion was a huge success! More than thirty eco-conscious
designers and boutiques were featured in the event, resulting in more
than 70 looks. Gretchen Rossi, from Bravo TV's "Real Housewives of
Orange County," walked in the show and wore three different designers:
Loyale, Kelly B., Nixxi, and Beau Soleil. I have set up a poll on the
event website, so you can see all four
looks and vote on your favorite. So far, Loyale's floral dress (shown
here) is winning! That was my favorite, too!
It was a ton of fun working on this event and learning more about eco-fashion. I came into this project knowing very little about this industry, but this was a great way to learn. I am looking forward to a summer wardrobe full of Stewart+Brown, Loyale, and Kelly B. Their lines all just scream "summer!" to me.

Unfortunately, the amount of time associated with planning Green with Fashion has kept me away from the blog... but I'm back! Speaking of... the planning of the event is going really well and I am happy to report that over thirty designers will be featured in the show. For a full list of contributors, as well as more information on the event, please check out the website at www.greenwithfashion.t83.net

Today was a HUGE day for Green with Fashion! Maybe it had something to do with the beautiful weather we are experiencing in Philadelphia today, or maybe it's just pure luck. Either way, our list of contributing designers skyrocketed from 19 to 24 in literally the span of an hour. I was just hoping that we would break 20 for the event... after all "20 designers" sounds so much prettier than "19 designers" -- but "24 locally- and nationally-known designers" sure sounds amazing as well!

Let me first get you all caught up with my planning. Originally, the event was going to be a regular charity fashion show, focusing on local Philadelphia designers and boutiques. But then, after learning about Arcadia Boutique, I shifted my focus to eco fashion. 3 weeks and several hundred emails later, I am delighted to say that I have 18 great eco-conscious designers signed on for the event.
One of the great brands that will be participating is Bag the Habit, a company that creates stylish reusable shopping bags. Not only will they be participating in the event, they have donated a bag to be raffled off, as well!
