Geneva Celebrates International Year of Biodiversity in Fashion
VeganEra  The United Nations has declared that 2010 is the international year of Biodiversity. Fashion icons around the world will be gathering to ensure they have the best eco designs to highlight such a year.
An event is being staged in collaboration between Green2greener and the United

Nations confrence on Trade and Development (UNCTAD). The series of activities will focus on natural fibres, sustainable development and that is right biodiversity.

The seminar will focus on sustainable fashion and a fashion show showcasing the amazing designs that can be achieved with eco, animal friendly products. It is true eco-couture collection from top designers around the world.

The Eco-Couture designers are a prestigious selection of international designers who have been invited to design and create a dramatic showpiece look out of sustainable textiles specifically for this event. Many of the designers have turned to their cultural heritage and country's myths and folklore for inspiration. For some, it is the first time they have worked with sustainable textiles but all have embraced the opportunity to make a statement about sustainability through fashion.

The EcoChic Geneva Ready-to-Wear looks have been selected from established sustainable fashion labels with fashion and accessory collections inspired by an ecological and ethical philosophy. For many, the primary focus is the choice and provenance of materials and the use of more efficient and eco-friendly processing techniques. For others, it extends to include fairer employment models or design and production processes that empower communities in developing countries.

High fashion eco-couture designers include Diane von Furstenberg, Thakoon Panichgul, John Rocha, and Reem Alasadi, and ethical ready-to-wear labels Deux FM, Edun, Eco Boudoir, Made, Noir, Bahar Shaphar, Fin Oslo, and The Andean Collection. Visit EcoChic Geneva for the complete list, and keep tuned we'll be looking at our favorite designers collections in the days leading up to this landmark event.
