Another famous designer name is releasing an exclusive, limited edition range of clothes. Yves Saint Laurent is a very high profile fashion brand that is helping to spread the word about the importance of eco design and sustainability. Hopefully young up and coming designers will hear this message and be inspired to create beautiful sustainable clothing.

Yves Saint Laurent’s new range is called ‘New Vintage’. All clothes are made from remnant fabrics and scraps from their previous collections. The collection includes one of kind pieces, dresses, trench coats, sandals and bags. Everything is limited edition with a number.

The collection was designed by Creative director, Stefano Pilati and is sold exclusively at Barneys in New York


The Ultimate Little Black Dress…


The little black dress is one of the most timeless pieces of fashion a girl can have.

The little black dress by The Uniform Project was designed by Eliza Starbuck and is said to be the most sustainable dress on the market.

What makes this dress so special? The LBD (little black dress) can be worn a staggering 365 different ways. This LBD is reversible and multi purpose. The company says the “…LBD is more than mere fabic and thread, it is a symbol of individuality and responsible living.”

With this dress you have a different look for every day of the year, and if it’s as amazing as the company claims, this means you should be able to move with the changing trends and seasons. Sheena Matheiken put this to the test, wearing the dress for an entire year with 365 different looks; she showed that with the right accessories you could pull it off.

This dress is made to order meaning less waste in the production. The dress can also be women of any age; kids to grandparents would feel comfortable in this dress.
