I really love the work of stylist
Holly Suan Gray, who will soon be fashioning the folkloric runway looks of the featured designers at
EcoChic Geneva. A timeless, multicultural storyteller for both print and film, Gray's scenes are seductively alluring and fragile in nature. As a vegetarian and animal rights activist, her mission is impressively
fashion-forward and environmentally aware - which begs one to ask, is the future of eco fashion also in the hands of the stylists who are best able to illustrate what we can and should be as informed fashionistas and truly global citizens?
Stay tuned for more coverage on
EcoChic Geneva and Holly Suan Gray's eco stylist spin on the runway event.
