Best Sustainable Fashion Gift for Unlimited Funds: Stella McCartney
Stella McCartney Lucia Tulle Sleeve Dress ($1,585)
Oh Stella McCartney, how do we love thee? Let us count the ways. First, for the fact that you brought sustainable fashion onto the runway in a way that was so jaw-droppingly gorgeous that even Vogue took notice (though that didn’t stop them from still pimping fur).
Second, we love you for your attention to eco and animal-friendly details, yielding PVC-free vegan “leathers” and “suedes” so beautiful, they’d even pass muster with Anna Wintour. (Are you sensing a theme?)
And though EcoStiletto is too teensy for your public relations team to give us the time of day, we still love you finally for a ridiculously gorgeous winter 2011 collection that takes our breath away online—and makes us dream of one day witnessing your genius on a runway. (Back row? Pretty please?)
No, we can’t afford to buy your clothes—unless we score a ridiculous deal on eBay—but if we could choose any eco-fashion gift to give, it would be from this collection.
And Stella McCartney, if we had a million dollars, we’d wear a closet full of you.
Want to give your favorite peeps a piece of your eco-focused mind? Give them the gift of awareness through a piece of sustainable fashion that looks as good as it feels on your conscience. With gifts beginning at under $20, there’s no excuse for not considering organic, upcycled, philanthropic, sustainable or vegan when you’re gifting your friends and family—or yourself.
