Featured collections for HauteLook’s event will be available at highly discounted prices for online shopping. One of them is ecoSkin, a California apparel company offering chic, contemporary designs for the eco-conscious but fashion-savvy woman. Core to its planet-friendly mission, ecoSkin uses only environmentally sustainable luxury fabrics that are woven, dyed and sewn in the USA.
ecoSkin’s founder, Sandy Skinner recognized that the apparel industry could do much more to support a healthy environment. She also knew the industry could do more for contemporary women who wanted to live a responsible, green lifestyle but also wanted to look eco-chic and sexy. As a green brand, ecoSkin offers contemporary women the opportunity to make a positive environmental difference one purchase at a time.
"This is my passion," Sandy says. "I am committed to making ecoSkin a successful company that I and the industry can be proud of." She adds, "We are in our infancy with many aspects of eco-friendly apparel. Green technology and environmental standards are still evolving and quality raw materials and dyes are scarce. All of this is challenging but worth the effort. The more customers demand responsibly-produced eco-friendly products, the more the industry will demand responsible suppliers and the faster we will clean up our planet, making green living mainstream living."
Another coveted eco-line participating in HauteLook’s event is Eco-Lux by Subtle Luxury. These are gorgeous, hand knitted sweaters designed with nature in mind. Their mission is to make a small difference in the way they do business by using Eco Fiber Yarns (Hemp, Bamboo, Soybean, Organic Cotton, Cashmere) to make beautiful sweaters with innovative details that you will love and wear for a lifetime. This collection was created with a belief that you can make beautiful and fashionable clothing while at the same time thinking about how you impact the world and environment.
Cindy Freeman, designer and founder Subtle Luxury (including Eco-Lux and Spun) incorporates her philosophy of "live life in comfort." She has always loved natural fibers and started to work with eco-friendly fabrics and yarns 10 years ago with Hemp, Linen and Cotton as well as plant-based vegetable dyes under the labels Natural Harmony and Subtle Tones.
I know how I’ll be celebrating Mother Earth and all her beauty – by getting eco-chic. What will you be doing?
