Livia Firth and Stella McCartney.
Livia Firth (yes, that would be actor Colin Firth’s wife) is the woman behind The Green Carpet Challenge, an initiative that encourages designers to produce eco-friendly looks for the red carpet. Among others, Stella McCartney has hopped onto this admirable bandwagon and recently designed 13 evening wear pieces all using recycled materials from previous collections.
She told WWD, “The problem with luxury fashion is that it’s so isolated. There’s hundreds of thousands of meters of fabric that’s left over from collections and it just gets destroyed and I cannot get my head around it.”
Such waste but I tip my hat to Ms. Firth and Ms. McCartney and all the other designers involved with The Green Carpet Challenge.

One of many reasons I love Hermès- they throw nothing out. The lady who is the current generation of the family developed Petit H because she hated so much the waste of materials.
Interesting comment abour Hermes! And thank Moya for another interesting post.
I thought so too, Cynthia. The more I learn about Hermes, the more I respect them. Thanks for reading OverDressed for Life!
