\"\"<\/a>If you’re like me, you’ve been glued to your set watching Project Runway<\/em><\/strong>.\u00a0 Why wouldn’t you be?\u00a0 It’s a reality show where the contestants, though they may be obnoxious like other reality shows, actually showcase legitimate talent (well, mostly<\/em> legitimate talent) by creating amazing garments under extreme time constraints.\u00a0 Couple that with the snarky nature of at least a few contestants, the lovable Tim Gunn<\/strong>, the adorable Heidi Klum<\/strong> and a revolving door of fashion and celebrity guest judges, and you’ve got must-watch television every week.\u00a0 <\/p>\n

Besides having an entire episode based around eco-friendly fabrics<\/a> (with guest judge Natalie Portman<\/strong>), this season’s crop of designers includes Leanne Marshall<\/strong>, who, unbeknowst to many viewers, is a huge fan of sustainable textiles.\u00a0 She’s won several challenges and seems to be coming on strong late in the game (I’ve read no spoilers from Bryant Park, so don’t tell me!) Best of all, she’s thinking green.\u00a0 Her line, Leanimal<\/a>, focuses on hemp, bamboo, and organic cotton.\u00a0 She’s a native of Portland, OR, a huge hotbed of all things green.\u00a0 Her creatively-structured garments seem to be right in line with where sophisticated green fashion is heading.\u00a0 I love this piece from her Fall 08 collection.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I already loved Leanne’s designs, but now that I know she’s all about the green, I’m definitely rooting for her (and Korto) at Bryant Park this season.<\/p>\n
