On our coolness meter this is right up there. What box? This is I’m out of the box and never going in again thinking. Leggings are all the rave on the runways this year and Black Milk Clothing is taking legging design to a new level. Edgy, creative, and fashion forward crossing gender and age barriers and leaping toward wardrobe basic status; a must have for all wardrobes sort of like jeans. Show us a wardrobe without a pair of jeans. Can’t do it, doesn’t exist. Australian Emerging Designer James Lillis of Too Many Tights launched his own clothing line, Black Milk Clothing. He hand makes every pair so the $50 – $120 price tag for fashion leg art is a steal.
Daisy Green Bra by Enamore
The ladies from Daisy Green Magazine are teaming up with Enamore, the eco-lingerie manufacturer to produce the Daisy Green Bra. Founder and emerging designer Jennifer Ambrose will launch this bra venture this month in the UK.

A donation from every daisy green bra sold will go to charities that encourage breastfeeding. Fabulous merge of ideas with a long reach; environmentally conscious, fills a void, charity forward and babies benefit! What’s not to love about this endeavor, this one has it all.

The green issue of Vogue Magazine, June 2009, has hit the newsstands and features Cameron Diaz tagged the ‘Queen of Green’. It’s a fabulous issue and photographer Mario Testino’s pictures are inspiring. Cameron mentions, tongue-in-check, in her interview with Robert Sullivan that she would do anything for Mario. Like a sultry Latin tango, the photographs capture that level of comfort and trust between Cameron and photo maestro.
Cameron is radiant in a high-end eco-chic silk halter dress by designer Phillip Lim and accented with a more affordable red recycled fire hose belt from emerging designer and social entrepreneur Kresse Wesling. The green issue also features white premium organic jeans by Del Forte, vegan sandals by Olsen Haus and a beautiful bikini by Stella McCartney. High-end designer Stella McCartney is a known vegetarian with an eco-friendly fashion brand.
The Prius-driving actress shies away from preaching and scolding green activism but feels more comfortable living green and demonstrating a green lifestyle through her daily choices. She uses offsets for carbon neutral travel; she recycles and is mindful of product choices that are environmentally sensitive.
This issue rushes in the long awaited summer with a focus on eco-fashion and earth friendly choices mixing high-end eco-designer fashion with more moderate emerging designer style. Tonne Goodman, Vogue’s fashion editor, creates balance between eco-friendly choices for everyone on this earth-friendly journey.
