I’m heading to Go Green Expo, but before I do, here’s this week’s small, edited collection of body and planet-friendly fashion and fashion-related faves.

Melissa Ferriera and her Vancouver-based clothing line, adhesif, make one-of-a-kind creative clothing from recycled materials. The shorts (pictured above) are fashioned after “knickerbockers” and paperboy style shorts. The bottoms are made from recycled t-shirts and the high waist is made from soft corduroy. The “cat eye” button detailing down the front of the waist is vintage shell and bone – and the whole eco ensemble is meant for fun. The hemline and waist are elasticized for easy on and off. $118 @ adhesif’s on-line shop


Love these! Rings ($54) for guys and earrings ($48) for girls — all made from recycled skateboards.



This GoLite Wheeled Carry-On is created from 50% recycled nylon! GoLite just received Backpacker’s Editor’s Choice Green Award for its use of Tier 1 recycled fabrics, (100% for their new backpack). With Tier 1 recycled polyester and nylon materials, “massive reductions in energy use and resource consumption required to produce them vs. the virgin, petroleum-based alternatives.” (Read more about it on their Website in the ‘Performance Technology’ within ‘The Meaning of Lite’ section.) This lightweight, reversible dress contains a UPF of 5o — we just wish that it were made of Tier 1.
Available exclusively at YOOX.com, you’ll find a cute organic cotton tee designed by the hardest working eco girl on the planet, Summer Rayne Oakes.
For men and women, and at $39, all proceeds are donated to Green Cross International, an environmental non-government organization, (NGO), founded by President Mikhail Gorbachev and partner or YOOXYGEN.

























Those are some great finds! Be sure to check out thehotlovemovement.com for some more hot eco styles. They are an urban fashion line including organic t-shirts, messenger bags made out of bamboo and recycled billboard vinyl, and more. They believe that we need to take responsibility for our world, which is why they only use water based dyes and sweatshop free cotton. The best part is, all proceeds from sales go to fund projects in underprivileged areas for sustainable infrastructure projects!
