Ali & Day do L.A.

We just returned from a quick trip to Los Angeles where we participated in a The Green Gallery, a press and buyer event at The Gallery Los Angeles. We got to attend The Humanitarian Initiative fashion show (check out the quick clip of us waiting in line to get in-yummy organic drinks in hand) and see some great designs from American designers who are using sustainable materials to create gorgeous clothing and accessories.

1. Sandy of EcoSkin makes sumptous dresses that look great on every body type.
2. Teresa of oxumwear has stylish yoga wear made from bamboo and eucalyptus.
3. Kathleen of Smart Glass brought her show-stopping jewelry made from recycled bottles. (See our Eco Medal of Honor column to the right)
4. Christa of Yoga Tribe and Culture had great casual wear separates with great yoga inspired sayings.
   
5. Cem of Isle of U brought his organic cotton and bamboo tshirts emblazoned with such messages as HOPE (Help our planet earth.)
   

These are just of few of the green designers we met. We were so proud to be in their company as not only are they super-nice people but they are doing their part to, as we say, "Look Hot While Saving the Planet."
