We’ve all heard the term, “go green” a million times in the past few years. Although eco-friendly products have become somewhat of a trend, the truth is that purchasing products that are environmentally-safe is a smart choice that ultimately affects us all.
A few nights ago, I had the pleasure of attending a “Be EcoChic” runway fashion show at the American Museum of Natural History. The goal of the event was to educate consumers about the wide variety of fashions that are both stylish and good for the earth. We can all make a conscious effort to help preserve our world, even fashionistas!
Do you buy eco-friendly fashions? If not, would you consider it?
Here are a few pics from the show:

thanks for this one. the go green bap in me loves it.
Yea, I will consider it. I think you picked a well rounded selection of eco-friendly fashions that I could get some ideas from. Thanks!
All of these selections are great! I will I would for sure purchasce eco-friendly fashions! Speaking of…. I have a t-shirt contest supporting eating local foods check it out!

i don’t think i buy eco-friendly products, it they’re in my price range i would consider it,….the criss cross plum dress looks nice
That Larson Gray Jacket has my name on it.
Eco fashion has come a long way, I loved every single piece! Thanks for showing us that you could still look good and look out for the planet!
i LOVE nora’s jacket…cuteness indeed!
BGG, I’m all for saving the planet but I don’t think I’d actually go looking for eco-friendly items. If they happen to be at the mall and affordable, I’d definitely make the purchase. It’s just amazing how they can recycle various items and turn them into high fashion!
I like almost ALL of those styles… They’ve got my name written all over ’em, lol
wow, it’s kinda expensive to be nice to the environment. this is all above my pay grade. cant wait ’til im really employed…
cute picks! if i see them in the store and they fit nice i will buy em!
so are they bio degradable?
I have not purchased eco friendly clothing, at least not knowingly but I am not opposed to the idea.
Alek looks great.

I’d buy eco-friendly items if they were cute and not so doggon expensive but just between you and me, how do we really know they are any friendlier than the stuff we already own and wear? I’m sorry but this election has me all upset and suspicious!
That Michael B. piece is divine! I want one! I’ve gone green in a lot of areas but definitely not in the fashion area but you got me thinkin’ twice.
I am in the process of making the switch to all things green from what I eat to what I put on my body (lotion, soaps, makeup,etc.). I like the idea of buying earth friendly clothes, and I am certainly willing to purchase them if they become readily available and affordable.
I’m all for eco chic all long as it fits the chic bill. Great post!
nice post
I wish I could buy more eco-friendly stuff but most are just so expensive.
that gown is gorgeous!!!!
Go green ^_^
I agree, it would be great if eco-friendly fashions were more affordable!!
