The Green Shows were a hit at New York Fashion Week 2012, shows were packed, a huge achievement for the sustainable fashion movement.

Designers have a certain criteria to abide by in order for their designs to be accepted as sustainable, they have to incorporate some of the following:

Fair Trade

Designers such as United Bamboo, Bamboo by United Bamboo, Study NY by Tara St. James, H. Fredriksson, Luis Valenzuela, The Battalion, Anja, and Artists & Revolutionaries all created beautiful pieces that were both Glam and Green
