Trash Fashion Bash at Seattle Art Museum


I attended the International Sustainability Institute's Trash Fashion Bash tonight and must say that I was totally blown away by the amount and quality of the designs. Many of the designs were from the fabulous design divas at Haute Trash but there were many local designers that wowed the crowd too, from a tofu packaging wedding gown by Chaco to women's business suit made from circuit boards. And then there were the models! Several SSF favorites including Lynne Baker (pictured at left) part of the City of Seattle's green building team (and frequent SSF OSSA Award judge), Diane Sugimura, Director of Planning & Development for the City of Seattle, Joanie Parsons of Parsons Public Relations, Kaye Smith-Blum of Butch Blum who was one of the evenings MCs. There were many other architects, urban planners, and even several budding high schoolers striking a pose for sustainability as well. Any why did the models look so fabulous you ask, well, because SSF Co-founder and Senior Stylist Rebecca Luke was on the scene in wearing her les Egoistes hat training all those high-profile sustainability celebs how to strike a pose on the runway of course. All in all, another great example of how we all can look fabulous, live well, and do good.

Fashion and fabric in Portland

Rebecca (SSF Co-founder) and I just finished presenting at the International Textile and Apparel Association (ITAA) conference in Portland. We had a great turnout for our session and the group was really engaged. A lot of academic folks so I think we wowed them by demonstrating the amount and breadth of efforts underway across style/design industries and in particular in the fashion industry, from Armani using hemp to Ermenegildo Zegna using bamboo. Afterward we made a quick trip to check out Aysia Wright's new boutique The Green Loop just outside of Portland. VERY cool stuff.

Being part of the Russell Family

Rebecca and I attended a welcome meeting at The Russell Family Foundation (TRFF) today. We recently received a grant from TRFF to start a Seattle chapter of SSF. The facility is first and foremost beautiful but it also has a lot of green building components as well. Best of all it was great meeting the other recipients...lots of networking.
