Bravo's "In!" the Green Revolution

This was the first officially green episode of Project Runway. Yay, good job Bravo and Project Runway!! The fabrics used in this weeks episode were made of sustainable silks, bamboo jerseys and hemp blends. Unfortunately, they didn't discuss the fabrics that much, and the challenge was to make a cocktail dress so the audience didn't get to see the wide variety of sustainable fabrics there are out there. Nonetheless, the movement is alive and well. In the past, PR has used recycled cloths for challenges which is the ultimate in sustainability because it doesn't require new raw materials. Perhaps someone will comment on the eco-consciousness of repurposing clothing in a future episode this season.


The episode featured guest star econista Natalie Portman who was there to not only support green fashion but to plug her vegan shoe line that was produced by Te Cesan. Portman has been a vergitarian since she was 8 and has been looking for quality stylish vegan shoes for a long time, until she decided to design her own line. Much like her personal style, the shoes are delicate, eclectic and fun. She's donating 100% of the proceeds to various charities that benefit the environment and animal rights.


Thanks Bravo for elevating awareness and calling out the main stream fashion world... you either in or you out ... of the green revolution.

Oh, and for all you PR fans, Christian Seriano's collection is for sale on Blue Fly. It ain't cheap but it's hella fierce!!
