SELENA GOMEZ

Even though many designers that we have seen have had some type of training and have had some type of help in designing their eco-friendly clothing. This next designer Selena Gomez is an actress that stared in many shows and now is starting her own eco-friendly clothing line.

Selena Gomez has teamed with Kmart to launch an eco-friendly clothing line in July, just in time for back-to-school shopping. 

Her aim is for teens, her Dream Out Loud collection—featuring organic cotton and recycled materials—will include value-priced junior sportswear, handbags, belts, scarves, hats, hair accessories and socks/hosiery.

Gomez, who stars in the Disney Channel’s Wizards of Waverly Place, “is a positive role model for teens, and her fans all over the world look to her for style inspiration,” says Kmart spokesman John Goodman. “We are delighted to offer our customers the opportunity to emulate her style with affordable apparel and footwear options.” 

Gomez quotes, “I am proud to be able to join forces with Kmart to release my own fashion collection,” Gomez says. “This has been a dream of mine for as long as I can remember, and I feel privileged to be able to give the consumer great product at a great value.”

She Died Of Beauty!!!!!!!!!!!

                   She Died Of Beauty

           By: Long time friends super model Erin O’Connor and Stylist Kate Halfpenny.

"The very visual nature of fashion is to manipulate and exaggerate almost everything. We loved the idea of twisting a polite sentiment into a naughty yet, frivolously funny statement that we hope will appeal to all," the pair said in a statement.

A simple yet concise collection of 5 beautiful typographic t-shirts and 2 bags, with a play_ on the brand name – in their own words, “the very visual nature of fashion is to manipulate and exaggerate almost everything. They quote, “We loved the idea of twisting a polite sentiment into a naughty yet, frivolously funny statement that we hope will appeal to all.”

The inspiration behind the brand name and collection is to make a teasing yet affectionate tickle at the fashion industry they continue to love, honor and serve, showcased through a capsule collection of invigorating and lovingly created organic cotton t-shirts and bags in a classic monochrome palette.

The brand origins are firmly rooted in London, with a creative collision of informed education; _Kate at St Martins School of Design and Erin within the political & potent world of fashion, _providing a signature style, which is witty, purposeful and un-apologetic.

The core brand philosophy is based upon ethically and organically sourced materials important to both Erin & Kate “after all, there’s no reason why style and conscience can’t co-exist!” say the design duo.

Our world-class shows have drawn the attention of countless celebrities and have been featured on CityTV, The Vancouver Sun, Flare, and Sesi Magazine.

New York's Accomplished Eco-Friendly Designer is Auralis....

Many designers have come from different countries and had an epiphany of making their communities a better and eco-friendly place. Their beautiful and creative deigns have made a great impact in the 21^st fashion industry… 

Auralis is committed to sustainable practices that are considerate to the planet. They pride themselves in making beautifully designed, timeless pieces that are also practical and fashion forward. Every piece is made responsibly with love and care.  

There textile-processing uses low impact methods, leaving green fabrics with a minimal environmental footprint. They produced their pieces in New York and Puerto Rico. Their employees and collaborators are part of their family; they are also all creative partners in a collective design effort.

The Designer

While other children grew up listening to their parents' favorite Julio Iglesias or Elvis, Auralís grew up hearing the lulling hum of her mother's sewing machine. Her mother and grandmother—all talented seamstresses—fed Auralís heaping doses of proper construction and fabric. She has been sketching dresses since her early days in Puerto Rico. Her roots inform her unique point of view as a designer. Her aesthetic evokes Caribbean childhood memories and breezy summer nights in the tropics.

She then moved to New York City where she has worked for various well-known contemporary labels such as Susana Monaco. Here, Auralís creates timeless pieces that incorporate contemporary silhouettes. In New York, she supports urban planning to improve conditions for pedestrians and cyclist in her Brooklyn neighborhood.
