clothes to make mother nature happy

NEW YORK, Feb 10, 2010 (AFP) - Newspaper ballgowns, recycled plastic sandals and coats made of wool from "happy and free" sheep -- designers are showing clothes to make Mother Nature smile at GreenShows Eco Fashion Week.


After a first run last September, the event's second fashion week kicks off on Sunday 14 February, with 10 designers sending models down runways at an East Village building in New York City.

Even the location is environmentally friendly, complete with LEED-Gold certification -- a high standard of environmentally sustainable construction.

Models will strut their stuff for four days for GreenShows, timed to coincide with stylistas and tastemakers from around the fashion world flocking to New York City to view Autumn-Winter 2010 collections on display at Bryant Park.
