I love these chic and original sustainable fashion offerings to be presented by Foundfuture at RENDEZ-VOUS NYC throughout this three day weekend. Church & State, çuval, Dialog Ltd., Lara Miller, Love Mert, Mi Asunta, and Novacas are all names to watch and fall in love with. This global mix of designer labels is an impressive pack of original style for Spring 2011.

So exciting to see these one-of-a-kind recycled news creations at the Do-Gooder Design Challenge runway presentation in Chelsea last evening. The invited designers did a fantastic job of crafting some innovative and resourceful designs out of yesterday's news. All of the above pieces will soon be up for auction to benefit the charity of each designer's choice. Visit this link for further details. Extra! Extra! This was some newsworthy eco-fashion, for sure.
