Hermanos Estebecorena The Argentine branch of the Salvation Army and agency JWT

Argentina have teamed up with five top local fashion designers to create high fashion couture

with donated clothes. The result of the collaboration -- to be auctioned off to bring attention to

and support the many activities of the Salvation Army in Argentina -- is a set of inspiring

garments that look everythingbut recycled. These photos were taken in the Salvation Army's

main location in Buenos Aires, using old appliances and corners of the huge storehouse. ain

Malissa Long is scheduled to show off her looks at Houston Fashion Week next month. She

recently started using recycled materials after seeing an art exhibition that featured creations

made from Red Bull cans.³I¶ve been more conscious of what products go into my designs. I¶m

using less man made material and more natural fibers,´ she said.Hobo Threads¶ Charlene Palmer

made a jacket out of old jeans and overalls for the show. She also used leftover fabric from a

dress and turned it into a purple outfit for her dog.Palmer said moving to Austin helped restore her

passion for recycled clothing.



DiscardedÂ to Divine Imagine the opportunity to recycle used garments into an amazing masterpiece that will chang e

someoneâs life. Discarded to Divine is that opportunity.Â Designers at various stages in their career come together and

fashion garments out of donated items from the St. Vincent de Paul Society, deconstruct them, and then construct

illustrious works of art, auctioned off for charity

Yuka yoneda Regardless of whether or not youre as gung-ho eco-fashion as we are, its incredibly interesting to see the

evolution of sustainable fashion from casual wear towards haute -couture. New York Fashion Weeks The Green

Shows certainly made this trend very obvious both in the fashion -forward collections that were chosen to grace the

runways and in the increased interest they attracted this year. The Green Shows showcased an inc redibly diverse lineup of

eco-fashion collections this season, from old hollywood glamour to avant-garde deconstructuralism, from punk-rock

craziness to the ethereal bohemianism proving once and for all that green comes in all sorts of styles and flavors

these days. If you werent able to make the shows, check out the extensive coverage of Green New York Fashion Week

over on our sister eco-fashion site Ecouterre; weve got tons of great pics and reportage



Joann berman While queen of upcycled rocker chic JoAnn Bermans fashions are probably not for

everyday wear (unless youre extra, extra fierce), her energy-charged, colorful presentation was

quite possibly the most fun out of all The Green Shows. Her boogeying, baton-twhirling, just plain

having a great time models did a fantastic job showing off masterfully constructed, one of a kind

looks that seemed to fly down the runway.

We loved the sophisticated, ethnic stylings of Ekovaruhuset¶s Fall Winter 2010 line ,

which featured the collective designs of Johanna Hofring, Meiling Chen, Tor Söderin, Renata Mann, Mika Machida, Kaori Yamazaki, and Melissa Kirgan and Xing-Zhen Chung-Hilyard of Eko-Lab. The show featured everything we love about House of

Organic ± delicate crochet work, hand made details and of course, the use of organic fabrics ± but we especially adored the addition of the swirling charcoal-ink prints hand painted by

Emmy Award-winning artist Jennifer Wen Ma.
