The Grand Mademoiselle harbors a shameful style bias that has always dismissed eco-friendly fashions as dowdy and too burdened by political overtones to be convincing. However, part of appreciating design is in understanding the fluidity that accompanies the definition of style. As an homage to
Earth Day, the Grand Mademoiselle has divested herself of all preconceptions and in doing so, uncovered gloriously green garments that will make anyone a believer.
Having been a longtime fan of shoe designer
Manimal, the Grand M was overjoyed to discover a new line of vegan moccasins for the globally conscious consumer. Handmade in Massachusetts,
Manimal's "Ribcage" vegan moccasin is not only inconceivably comfortable, but undeniably chic to boot. The vegan upper is adorned with a riveting ribcage applique detail that is ever so faintly rock and roll while maintaining a distinctly organic flair. Certainly, what makes these shoes a perfect fit for
Earth Day is their environmentally friendly construction, but the style lesson to walk away with is that the best way to celebrate "going green" is by seeking out organic motifs, lifted from the glories of nature that inspire them.
Stella McCartney's Brass Leaf Necklace is a great example of the glory of green, which is so much more than synthetic reconstructions of typically eco-
unfriendly textiles. The delicate leaf motif filigree dripping from
McCartney's necklace is the perfect place to begin when adjusting to the earthy look. What could be more fitting for the message that
Earth Day exudes than a celebration of nature's finest and most mysterious creations?
For more fabulous earth-friendly fashions and tips, the Grand M recommends paying a visit to
Equa's blog, devoted to raising awareness about the relationship between the environment and stylish clothing, proving that it is indeed possible to blend both. Ethical fashion has never been more appealing, and earth-friendly labels are taming the Grand M's style bias by demonstrating that the essence of style is the
now of any movement, and one with such heart is difficult to deny.
