sustainable style foundation*

OK, I'm a little behind on this one...but I just got back from Maui! Just saw this week's Project Runway in which the designers had to use recycled materials. SO SSF! I can't say I agree with the judges decision at all but was glad to see some sustainability sneak into PR. Several of the designs were stunning. SSF actually did a project like this at Seattle Central Community College's Apprarel Design Program. I wish I had some pictures of the students outfits because ALL of them were stunning: a tent turned into a J-Lo gown, a sleeping bag turned into an Chanel inspired suit, etc. The whole thing reminds me of Season 2, Episode 9 in which the designers had to use plants and flowers to construct their designs, also good stuff. I'd love see more sustainability themes on PR in the future...maybe even something delving into social issues.
