Eco-Friendly Gets Pretty

We couldn't think of a better way to kick off fashion week than to watch our favorite girls strut down an eco-friendly, recycled wood runway at Earth Pledge's FutureFashion show last night.

The show featured surprisingly ladylike looks from twenty-eight designers ranging from Marni to Versace. Each used sustainable, organically grown materials like bamboo, soybean fiber and even the leaves of wild pineapple plants.

Stam wore a very wearable Rodarte party dress; Coco rocked a 40's coat dress from DVF; Irina wore Behnaz and the most perfect shoes we've ever seen. But it was Liya Kebede in vintage Moschino and Shalom Harlow in a gothic Margiela wedding dress who made our heads whip around for just one more look.

The studded peace silk suit by Givenchy made us gasp; the hemp and silk dress from Rogan made us wish the earthy designer made more dresses and less jeans, and we can't wait for Donna Karan's tea-stained sasawashi evening gown to make its red carpet debut. Cate Blanchett - can you abandon Balenciaga just once?!

If this is what environmental fashion looks like - count us in!
