Eco designer spotlight – Jae Basilio

Stylish eco fashion designs available online

Jae Basilio can be summed up as sexy, trendy and youthful. The line launched in 2007 with a focus on knitwear. Designer Jae Basilio is a FIDM graduate who puts a California twist on each piece, but makes it appropriate for women across the country and around the world. As a part of the Jae Basilio line you´ll find body conscious fits, flattering cuts, bold solid colors all done in high quality and eco friendly knits.

The first thing to look for when browsing for an eco friendly clothing line is the type of fabrics used. Just because a fashion line labels themselves as eco friendly doesn´t mean their clothing actually is. But a line like Jae Basilio can actually live up to their word. All of their fabrics are sustainable, and the styles are cute as well. Take the royal blue Janelle Dress, which is made of 100% bamboo, one of the most eco friendly fabrics on the market. This tube dress is just gorgeous; it drapes along the bust, and then hangs down the front and drapes along the sides as well. The eco friendly fashion look is great for cocktail parties and weddings; you´ll look great and feel good about the environment as well! liveeco loves that the site also offers a how to wear it section which tells you how to accessorise your outfit!

But the green fashion looks of Jae Basilio doesn´t stop there. Another hot style this eco conscious label has on the market this season is the Cameron Dress, which is a little black shift dress with cream lining. The dress is inspired by a black and white Chanel dress worn by Cameron Diaz to her premiere of the movie The Holiday back in 2006. It´s been a couple of years, but the look still is beloved by both regular and eco fashionistas´. The Jae Basilio version of this dress is made of 100% cashmere, and it´s a very thin cashmere, making it comfortable to wear and cool in the summer.

So even if you´re new to the eco fashion movement, and even if you´re just beginning to get conscious about the earth, stocking up on stylish pieces from eco fashion designers like Jae Basilio will not only do a lot for your closet but the earth too.
