Eco couture at Fashion Week in Portland, Oregon

Last week saw Portland, Oregon host it´s annual Fashion Week and it’s gone green for the second year in a row. Featuring eco-couture, urban casual, street- and active-wear from all over North America and the globe, Portland Fashion Week is the world’s only comprehensively eco-sustainable production of a fashion week.”

Oregon Live reports that “even the venue — the 14 Square building — incorporates sustainable materials.”  The runway? Made of recyclable materials, of course. The week ended on Sunday 11th October and featured many independent designers whose work was produced with minimal environmental impact. Along with these hot fashions, the models wore ecological cosmetics.

Leanne Marshall, a finalist on this season of “Project Runway,” showed her collection last year. Though she couldn´t this year because of contract restrictions, other talented designers who remain relatively unknown participated.

Watch the video below to see more of this year´s designers.
