Eco-Couture Fashion Show



Toronto fashion media, bloggers and eco-fashion supporters nestled among a green grass runway at the Evergreen Brickworks for the 1st Eco-Couture Fashion Show. Some of Toronto's top designers including Annie Thompson, Ula Zukowska and Thien Le made a statement with bamboo, soy and hemp creations, all sustainable fabrics, for the event.

Robin Kay, FDCC president gave an impassioned speech and encouraged the crowd to pull together to embrace this new 'eco-psychology'. Although Flare editor Lisa Tant graced the crowd with her presence, we couldn't get her 'professional' opinion, let alone a reaction to Canada's eco-couture - I suppose we should be satisfied with her "Green is the New Black" editor's letter in this October issue of Flare.

Overall, the night was a success in raising funds for Environmental Defense, an organization that educates the public about environmental issues.
