Going Green Hits the Runway

A finale of firsts in so many ways.

For the first time in five seasons, three female contestants dominated the finale and were able to show their collections at New York’s Fashion Week in Bryant Park. Tim Gunn was the guest judge in the runway show for the first time.

And also for the first time, the winner promoted the use of sustainable fabrics in her collection.

Leanne Marshall, known for her more architectural styled clothing throughout the season, wowed the judges and and the audience with her exquisite and innovative collection during the runway show. And after, when asked why she should be the winner of the show, she explained how she is always thinking ahead and that half of her collection was made using sustainable fabrics.

Sustainable fabrics are made from organic or natural, earth-friendly materials and methods. The processing is easier on the environment or recycles other materials–even plastic bottles! Sounds fashionable, don’t you think? Actually, it calls to mind images of stiff fabrics like wool, hemp, linen, and bamboo. (Yes, bamboo. Like the tree. Haven’t you heard? It’s the hottest fabric now.) Even the judges commented that Leanne’s collection could have looked “granola-ey.”

Yet Marshall delivered an eco-friendly collection that was filled with such fluidity, grace and movement that it was, well, breathtaking. Does this look like recycled plastic or hemp?

Added bonus: The winner gets a Saturn Hybrid! Being eco-friendly here too!
