Wearing vintage has always been a wonderfully Green thing to do. Goddess knows there is plenty of clothing and fabric on this planet, we could probably cover 50 planets with everything in our respective closets. So in honor of Earth Day, LA's premiere vintage store "The Way We Wore" hosted a special vintage party and fashion show. Co-hosted by vintage fashion icons Debi Mazar and Dita Von Teese, the night was a reminder of how we can all be thrifty and creative and save the planet at the same time.
My friend Lotta, (pictured above), along with several other LA designers, were all charged with re-working vintage pieces into new one of a kind very wearable creations. All the designers did a smashing job! But everyone can do this type of thing, either at home with a sewing machine, or for the less crafty, for only a few bucks at your local dry cleaners. You would be surprised at how little it costs to have your local seamstress re-work/alter a piece. So next time you see an amazing 70's print maxi dress, that's 5 sizes too large, just buy it! Then bring it to the tailor, alter it and with the left over fabric make a headband or pillow case.
Green never looked so gorgeous!
