I’ll never ever ever understand what it is about being a celebrity that makes one an innately better designer than, say, me! But as long as they’re designing, I like it when they go green!

Which is why when I read over at Ecorazzi that Rashida Jones (daughter of Quincy, former star of The Office was designing a line of eco-friendly clothing called Laloo, I was pleased.
Rashida has paired up with Angela Wilcox to create a line of “swingy tanks, dresses, and layerable tees in the softest organic cotton.” They promise …read more

I forgot about Natalie Portman’s new side gig as a shoe designer, but thankfully Ecorazzi reminded me!
Natalie’s line of vegan shoes are now available at Te Casan!
To be honest, the collection isn’t anything special. They are normal, stylish, animal-free shoes. However, it looks like it’s going to be popular, because several styles are already sold out on pre-order!
To see all the styles or to place your own order, head over to Te Casan now.
And don’t forget to check out photos of the launch at the NYC boutique at Just Jared!

Hayden Panettiere is a fearless eco-warrier. She’s currently the public face for the Save the Whales Again! campaign!
It’s great to see that Hayden takes the environmental route with less sexy activities, like getting groceries! Here she is yesterday, carrying her goodies in some colorful reusable bags after a trip to Whole Foods.
Thanks to ecorazzi for the tip!

Okay, this has nothing to do with fashion, but I’m posting it anyway!
Last Thursday, NBC had a Green Week. All their shows had a green theme. The best part is that Al Gore made a cameo on 30 Rock, which resulted in the best episode of 30 Rock this season!

America’s Next Top Model Goes Green…

Filed under Chic News, Green Celeb Style
Okay. I need to vent. While the Project Runway Canada eco-episode made me squeal with glee, last night’s episode of America’s Next Top Model made me want to throw things against the wall.
The theme was ‘recyclable materials.’ I was thinking couture garbage garments in a low-impact setting. Instead, the sets were very literal and ambiguous in regards to the eco-impact . The clothing was not recycled material, and if it was, someone should have said something. Instead, it was normal clothes that matched the mounds of garbage set up by Tyra’s creative team to put behind the models.
Some of …read more
Umbrella Chic Canadian Style

Project Runway Canada aired their second episode last night on Slice. I must say, I’ve been very impressed so far. Iman is a fantastic host (she’s bitchy in a way that Heidi never is), the production value is very high for original Canadian Cable programming, Brian Bailey is hands-on in a way that Tim Gunn never seems to be (but this could be due to editing more than anything) and the talent abounds.
Last night was the obligatory “green” episode. The designers had to make a cocktail dress out of discarded umbrellas. I thought it was an interesting take on …read more
Green Celeb Style: Halle Berry

The real celeb in question here is not Halle Berry herself, but her yet-to-be-born baby!
After publicly announcing that she was three months pregnant (congrats Halle!), she was spotted out buying organic cotton baby gear.
She picked up a pant and t-shirt set from Baby Brown’s. Baby Brown’s has tons of adorable baby clothes made out of environmentally-friendly organic cotton.
I strongly suggest you follow Halle’s lead and check out what they have here.

With every Jessica (as in Sarah and Simpson), Paris, Olsen twin, and Amanda Bynes (this one truly baffles me!) getting in on the celebrity-turned-fashion-designer bandwagon, why shouldn’t Bindi Irwin, the Crocodile Hunter’s cute as a button daughter?
Bindi launched an eco-friendly kids’ clothing line in Las Vegas at Magic, the world’s largest trade show, last week.
Bindi herself hit the catwalk and strutted her stuff for the potential department store buyers.
The most amazing part? 100% of the profits from The Bindi Wear International Fashion Line will go towards supporting conservation programs run by the Australia Zoo.
Bindi worked with the Australian kiddie fashion …read more
