20th Century Glamour is Green
Date: March 23, 2009 | Category: Events, Lifestyle, Women
Making a bold statement about environmentally conscious fashion and practices, LA Fashion Week kicked off with ‘An Evening of 20th Century Glamour’ benefiting the MOCA at The Geffen Contemporary. The runway featured Cameron Silver’s vintage couture collection from his London and LA based ‘Decades’ and blog. “Vintage couture is the only choice for sustainable, high luxury…” Cameron noted as the line of celebs walked the red carpet.
Guests included Rachel Griffiths, Nicole Richie, Leona Lewis, Rose McGowan, Garcelle Beauvais, Marisa Tomei, Lisa Rinna, Kelly Lynch and Nicky Hilton. Party goers were treated to a bright and floral runway of 1958 Christian Dior, 1970′s Yves Saint Laurent, 1980′s Valentino and our personal favorite, a 1960′s Norman Norell Red Iconic Mermaid Cocktail Dress - wow! Spearheading the green message was event partner ‘EcoNouveau’ who promotes cutting-edge pioneers, in all fields, committed to environmental sustainability and social justice.
The extra evening perk? There was a bonus flash mob of awesome jazz dancers, in black, getting down to ‘Burning Up’ by Madonna.
