Runway the Green Way


SEPTEMBER 24TH, 2010

Runway the Green Way

We can’t all rub elbows with French Vogue Carine Roitfeld at New York Fashion Week, but we can sip from a SIGG bottle co-designed by supermodel Gisele Bündchen while eco fashion takes a turn on the catwalk.

Next week marks the start of Eco Fashion Week Vancouver, and it’s anything but granola. Held inside the new, green-roofed Creekside Community Centre in the Olympic Village, event highlights include a showing of the spring ’11 collection from Canadian eco-design darling Nicole Bridger and speakers model-activist Summer Rayne Oakes and 2007 Nobel Prize winner Dr. Andrew Weaver.

It’s haute to be green.
