Aveda Rocks Rodarte :: NY Fashion Week Fall/Winter 2009

Rodarte started making an eco-splash about 4 years ago, having partnered with Aveda in various ways for their shows. Known for their groundbreaking, artisan & artistic approach to their work, the girls have become more and more environmentally savvy over the years. “They are unique,” said Kirsten Dunst of Kate and Laura Mulleavy, front-row at their show today. “They didn’t just study fashion. You can see that. It’s very emotional clothing.” Inspired by Aveda’s committment to the environment, this year, besides using all recycled & recyclable materials for their sets, they enlisted the help of celebrity & uber famous hairstylist, Odile Gilbert, notable for creating looks for all the top supermodels, all the top magazines and all the top designers over the last 15yrs. His latest tour de force has him leading a team of Aveda stylists for the Winter/Fall Rodarte show that hit the runways this week. Using a slew of Aveda products, including Smooth Infusion Glossing Straightener (which if you recall we reviewed recently) and Air Control Hair Spray (to minimize flyaways & add shine), the girls had a “modern, architectural look with slicked back hair and a deep side part. A ponytail was then laced up and wrapped to create a modern version of a chignon.” Writer :: Emma Pezzack - www.futurenatural.com: the best organic beauty products in the world.

What’s Hot, Gorgeous and Green? NYC Fashion Week.

Emma Pezzack — Tue, 26 Aug 2008 00:34:27 +0000

Conceived to raise the fashion industry’s collective ‘green’ conscience, Aveda are partnering with some of the hottest young designers in town and renowned editorial stylists to create an earth-friendly front-row, backstage and overall green fashion week environment. Rodarte, Phillip Lim, Preen and Alexander Wang are all participating in the innovative “Green Backstage” program.

Models, designers and media will all be offered emission-free transportation to and from the shows courtesy of Aveda branded petty cabs; organic & locally sourced food is being served to models, stylists, makeup artists and production crews backstage; all use of fur is being eliminated; show invitations and programs are being printed on post-consumer recycled paper; and they’re replacing all bottled water (400 p/show on average) with reusable SIGG bottles that will be filled with NYC tap water (which is actually some of the most pure in the US believe it or not).
