...kicked off her third-annual Green Carpet Challenge at this year’s Golden Globes, in an ongoing quest to put style firmly into the realm of sustainability. Sound familiar? We thought so, too, when we interviewed Livia in 2010 about how she embodies the EcoStiletto ideal. We’ve followed the gorgeous eco-visionary for the last two years as she evolves her mission.
This year Livia’s out in full force, inspiring Giorgio Armani to create a dress for her—and tux for hubby Colin—from a unique fabric made entirely with recycled bottles. She paired the ensemble with vintage diamond earrings, a conflict-free diamond ring and shoes that she—gasp—wore to last year’s Oscars. (Eco Stiletto)
Hell, I am impressed that she wore the same shoes. Imagine her boldness. The. Same. Shoes. Quel Scandal! But who should even notice that? Why can't people be more real about clothing? I don't care who you are, not wearing the same shoes because you wore them the year before is just plain stupid.
Nevermind Occupy Wall Street, let's all Occupy Fashion with some good sense. Starting at the celebrity level, if we all just said no to stupidity in clothing the world would be a better place.
Sometimes I read a magazine geared to "normal" people and I just don't get the prices of the clothes. They usually are not made that much better or in a fair trade way. Just because you can buy something doesn't mean you should. I used to spend a fortune on clothes. Then I realized I didn't wear ninety percent of them. I buy good clothes at reasonable prices now. And, then I hope I stay the same size so I can wear them more than once! Actually, I keep my clothes forever.
My first rule. Anything that goes right against my skin has to be washable. If I can sweat on it I have to wash it. Dry cleaning is expensive, usually uses chemicals that are petrol or solvent based (read carcinogenic) and doesn't always get the stink out.
