Stella McCartney Milan Store Aiming For LEED Certification
Written by Vegetarian Star on April 17th, 2010 in Environment-Eco-Green, Fashion.
Stella McCartney has just opened her first clothing store in Milan.
The New York Times is reporting the store has a sustainable oak parquet floor, manufactured for the same furniture company her husband owns.
Stella is looking to make the entire store environmentally friendly, as she hopes to attain LEED certification, a standard implying the building is using resources like water and energy most efficiently, reducing CO2 emissions and maintaining a quality indoor environment.
The vegetarian designer who refuses to use leather or fur in any of her collections routinely makes decisions in her business to reach a higher level of ethics, which include using organic cotton, low impact dyes and manufacturing in countries that do not use child labor.
