Avita — Sexy Green — Hah!

I, for one, can’t see how we can suggest to people that going green can ever be sexy. It just ain’t gonna happen. I mean who would dream of using recycled fabrics and bamboo to make slinky apparel? Ridiculous! And who does Avita’s Amanda Shi think she is? Launching a 100 piece collection with colours like toffee, kelp, tangerine, lavender and powder blue. And hot pink, for heavens sake. OK, so she has added organic cotton and recycled cashmere to her existing mix of cashmere, silk and bamboo, but, really, who ever heard of a burlap sack being called alluring, feminine, comfortable, flirty or exquisite? Come on, we’re TreeHuggers, we’re not falling for this, it’s some sort of ploy. Just look at those filmsy birkenstocks that woman is wearing, How does she expect to chop wood, get water from the well and tend the vegie patch in those? ~:^) ::Avita, via Fashion Windows.

Not that the clothes pictured above are good for everyday wear, but they -are- very gorgeous. If I had the money!

So do I have to be anorexic to wear any of that?

this is tongue-in-cheek right?
cause i never heard anyone say that you had to be frumpy to be green - though most of the world seems to think that,and honestly, most people don't want to be frumpy, ergo most people don't want to be green.

so i say hurrah for anorexic, hot-pink greenies. the more the merrier.
