Who says eco-friendly clothes aren't sexy? This Stella McCartney dress hugs the curves just right and the John Hardy jewelry, which uses ethical, pro-Earth practices, provide the perfect final touches.

Green fashion and current trends never looked so good together. Eileen Fisher and Nordstrom brand, Stem, both use organic cotton.

green 'n' pristine
Five years ago, this coral dress would have never been associated with green fashion. Today, Halogen, a Nordstrom brand, has made great efforts to ensure its eco-fashion is just as appealing as the rest of the department store's inventory. Halogen uses organic cotton.
Halogen amaryllis belted shirtdress, $138, John Hardy Bulan silver coin ring with blue topaz and sea colorway enamel cuff, $450, John Hardy Bulan silver coin with blue topaz and sea colorway enamel cuff, $995, all available at Nordstrom at Fashion Show mall; Stella McCartney beaded foldover clutch, $1,495, and Tess frame cotton wedges, $1,095, both available at Neiman Marcus at Fashion Show mall



organic attack
The next time you peruse the mall for a hot, on-the-town outfit, consider going organic. Designers such as Stella McCartney, who has partnered with Notify denim, use organic fabrics and donate proceeds for some garments to animal protection charities.
Stella McCartney light wash skinny jeans, $295, and Stella McCartney one-shoulder blouse, $695, both available at Neiman Marcus at Fashion Show mall; John Hardy Batu Kawung silver square station bracelet with citrine marquise briolette, and Stella McCartney peep-toe slingback pumps, $550, both available at Nordstrom at Fashion Show mall

The fashion industry has finally deemed it cool to save the environment. What does it mean for you? Eco-friendly clothes that won't make you look like a Grateful Dead follower.

At last, sustainable fabrics, ethical practices and organic cotton come together to produce beautiful, fashion-forward clothes. Thanks to designers such as Stella McCartney, Viridis Luxe, Paige Premium Denim, 3.1 Phillip Lim, Edun, Eileen Fisher and a host of others, you can now add "green" garments to your closet and wear them with style. For Earth Day, we'd like to show you exactly how. Check out some of the hot looks you can accomplish while maintaining a head-to-toe commitment to Mother Earth.

The thousand spent on a dress of Stella's could save a how many lives of animals, could help how many people who are hungry, could help how many people to get make their homes eco-friendly. There is NO way that a dress costs a designer so that they need to charge these prices. But, then, I see the world as being a little upside down when a person gets $20,ooo,ooo for being a movie star. Can't see a single VALUE in all of this, it is stupid.
