Cruelty Free Friday: Ivana Basilotta S/S 2012 Sirens

I could not think of a better way to kick off London FashionWeek, as well as celebrating Cruelty Free Friday, thanby featuring Ivana Basilotta'slatest Spring/Summer 2012 Sirens collection.


I first experienced the eco-luxurious natureof Ivana's designs on the runway at EcoChic Geneva in January 2010 and since then have followedher feminine and soulful collections each season with total admiration. Hercommitment to using vegan 'peace' silk in her dresses and separates is totally fitting with her enlightened ideas about what constitutes genuine beauty and fluidstyle. The thoughtful incorporation of biodegradable and recycled fabrics also makes the 'Sirens' collection a timeless vision for the best in ethical fashion.

By now word has traveled around the globe that Prophetik's Jeff Garner created quite a show stopper at last night's Golden Globes Awards with Livia Firth's stunning peace silk gown. You, too, can don a bit of hand-dyed prophetik glamour with some of the lovely pieces above. How cool is it that indigo-dyed garments are the new luxury staple of 2011?
