Best Mall Eco-Fashion: Night Out

In star-struck Los Angeles, red carpet season just opened. But even if you’re not hitting the Oscars this year, at one point or another you’ll be on the market for a serious occasion dress. For proms, bridesmaid duties, anniversary parties and other Big Nights, you want a dress that makes an impact on your date, not on the environment. Sold at Nordstrom, Dalia MacPhee’s collection of vegan evening wear is perfect for red carpet occasions. And although this means she designs using some not-so-eco-friendly, silk-alternative fabrics like polyester, Dalia offsets the impact and plants a tree in Tahoe’s fire-destroyed Tree of Life Grove for every gown she makes.
What to carry? Don’t ruin the picture with a run-of-the-mill leather bag—opt for a gorgeous vegan clutch made from recycled plastic bottles, instead. Also available at Nordstrom (proving to be the veritable epicenter of mall eco-fashion) with vintage detailing like quilted sides and chain straps and a pledge to plant a tree for every piece sold, Reveal handbags are perfect for work and play.
