The Frankfurter Gives Some Sweet Kisses to Eco-Modeling
Published Tuesday, April 22, 2008 by SROmgmt.
I love the Germans or perhaps it's the other way around. No matter- there's just all love up in this house. And the Germans are just so on top of all things going on. The Frankfurter gave me some props in a recent issue and ran this beautiful photo that Anouk and I did at my place before she left New York. I'm wearing a Katharine Hamnett shirt and John Patrick Organic jacket. Click on the image to enlarge.

Seeing a model posing for “G” a.k.a. eco-jeans or walking the runway for Ethical Fashion Show is admirable and sexy, but Summer Rayne Oakes is more than just a pretty face making commendable fashion statements. She’s a smart beauty who has figured out how to combine her image with her real interests and has become an earnest activist and entrepreneur. Heading up SRO (after her initials), a consulting company focused on sustainable business strategies, Oakes is using her background in science and her cause related modeling, and now travels the world helping companies tie in style with sustainability.

I was recently interviewed by NBC 1 for their eco-fashion segment. The Channel is focused on teens, so I love how they got a bunch of students in on the conversation. In this interview I'm sporting a bamboo knit top by Avita and organic cotton jeans by Loomstate.

There's been a lot of oddities and goodies happening in and around the "green" fashion scene as of late. I had the opportunity to participate in 4 ethical fashion shows this year and a host of great cause-related programs.Check out my Top 10 List of the latest gossip, cool events, and personal vignettes I've come across during my travels for this past September's feature at grist.org and I'll be sure to give you the scoop on all the shows.
Check out images of Seattle Fashion week here and here, which featured looks from Future Fashion, Thieves, Sling&Stones, Lizzie Parker, and others. Ekovaruhuset also hit off the stage in the Norwegian House in NYC. Ethical Fashion Show (Paris) images to come at a later date.

hooray.
These are shots of the hair getting done backstage. I got into hair/makeup around 11AM. Show started at 2:45PM. Careers TV from Canada was there to do a documentary on my work. I told them my consulting work was a bit dry, but they filmed it anyway. Glad they were able to film the Ekovaruhuset show before I left to the west coast. They stayed around to shoot hair and makeup, but it was uncharacteristically quiet backstage. There was no real rush on the models' and styling crew's part, but I'm sure the designers upstairs were running around willy nilly. Images above compliments of Inhabitat and Thisismylab.com coverage. Thanks to Jill & Jill for coming.Labels: eco fashion, ecofashion, ecofashion runway, Ekovaruhuset, ethical fashion, organic clothes, organic fashion
