WOMEN OF THE GREEN GENERATION, 3RD ANNUAL CONFERENCE

The Women Of Green The Generation conference was fabulous. On Saturday May 19th, 2012 the Green Fashionista’s hosted their 3rd annual Eco-friendly event. The conference was held in the penthouse at Loft Seven and featured a sustainable fashion show produced and styled by Rebecca Mink. The show showcased green designers Sita Couture, Violetta Villacorta, Anna Herman, Anita Arze, Deborah Lindquist andVital Hemptations. The penthouse was filled with beautiful artwork, designer, beauty and home products. I was looking forward to meeting Cassandra, her warm personality and friendly smile was well worth the wait. Her Abstract and Mono-Print designs are so beautiful! She incorporates her love for nature and color in every canvas. Cassandra Tondro Eco-friendly fine art, Got leftover house paint?

Cassandra uses leftover acrylic latex paint – better known as house paint – to create her contemporary abstract paintings on canvas. She rescues the paint from recycling centers in the Los Angeles area, and also combs the “mistint” shelves of home improvement stores. Deborah Lindquist “Eco Meets Couture” was one of my favorite lines, I loved her sweaters. Deborah is one of LA’s most sought after environmentally-conscious designers, she creates exquisite apparel out of a mix of “reincarnated” and new Earth-friendly fabrics. Her unique trend-setting designs are synonymous with style, fashion, and sex appeal. And her iconic vintage cashmere apparel has created a cult following among fans all over the US, Canada, Europe and Asia. I also like Mink Shoes, by Rebecca Mink. Rebecca’s shoes effortlessly reflect her sensibility with their effervescent glamour and towering heels, which effectively elongate a woman's legs and give her a confident posture. But perhaps more importantly, the line proves Rebecca's conviction that a non-leather alternative can outperform traditional shoes.
