Vegetarian Star

Gretchen Jones was the “Project Runway” season 8 winner who came determined to stick to green designing ways when the competition got tough on the runway.

Jones was known for using low-impact dyes, locally sourced materials, organic cotton, bamboo and other eco-friendly materials such as soy, a fabric derived from the process of manufacturing soy food products.

Jones is expanding her resume and is writing a regular column for the popular online green website, Ecosalon.com.

Alicia Silverstone is guest blogging at VegNews, and she’s sharing some of her favorite veg and eco-friendly items for fall.

“I’ve seen some great, eco-friendly pieces this season! I love when mainstream companies that are not vegan at all come out with kind products—progress. And if we all support their kinder products, they’ll be more inclined to stop using leather and other nasty materials.”

Some of Silverstone’s faves are completely vegan, while she’s encouraging other companies to expand their cruelty-free selection by giving their more ethical products more exposure.

One piece you may find tucked in her closet (if she’s not currently wearing it), is the Cowl neck tunic w/thumb hole sleeve by Eco Skin that is 92% hemp and 8% spandex. And if you like the tunic below, you’ll love the company’s green initiatives.
