Just this evening my husband showed me a brief spot on Eco Company TV -- a tv show that features the latest green technologies, advancements in recycling & organic materials, as well as tons of other Earth-friendly ideas, all geared specifically to teens-- & this spot just so happened to showcase the talents of two California teenagers who began their own green fashion line called Leftover Green Beans. (Watch the spot here.) The line is green due to the fact that all materials used in their pieces are either organic, or vintage, a fabulous form of recycling. While i, & i'm quite sure many more like me, have been repurposing old clothes, fabrics, thrift store finds & the like into new, usuable & wearable clothing for years & years now, it is nice to see that it's actually getting noticed by the fashion world, something quite refreshing. Watching these young girls' story unfold gives me inspiration & joy... & maybe it will reach out to someone else too.
Check out the links, & if you're bold check out your local flea market & refashion something of your own!
