Luis Valenzuela's eco fashion presentation for the opening night of The GreenShows was perhaps a bit more staged theater than fashion, but this is to be expected given the designer's background in studio painting and installation art of the fresh green variety.
With winks to Issey Miyake's Pleats Please and ruffled high collars of yore, there was an interesting mix of exotic glamor crafted with recycled materials that might otherwise suffer the fate of textile leftovers and shiny trim discards. The event's crowd seemed energized by the promise of NYFW's green offshoot and the spectacle that Valenzuela artfully served up.

Star model of the evening was definitely this sweet nymph of a girl. Eco fashion for the next generation?
