\"\"<\/a>Rocking the world of traditional eco-apparel, Linda Loudermilk forgoes\u00a0hemp for high fashion.\u00a0\u00a0Referred to as the “Green Queen” and self-proclaimed “Earth Warrior”, she leads\u00a0the high-end “green”\u00a0fashion movement with\u00a0her\u00a0 meticulously created runway looks.\u00a0This year her Fall collection is a mix of\u00a0rocker chic and refined classics.<\/p>\n

With stringent fair trade practices and extensively researched textiles she trademarked the term “Luxury Eco” to describe her line before the concept\u00a0was known to the masses.\u00a0 Her pieces are created in Los Angeles with\u00a0fabrics like seacell (seaweed bonded to wood pulp), sasawashi (Japanese leaves), bamboo and organic cotton.<\/p>\n

Introducing her denim line last Spring, she was the first to bring sasawashi denim to the fashion marketplace.\u00a0 Linda indicates that it takes one pound of pesticides to make one traditional pair of jeans and she was determined to introduce a better\u00a0alternative.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>New York’s highly critical fashion scene has embraced her with standing ovations at Fashion Week and her looks\u00a0have been found on celebs such as Debra Messing, Jane Fonda and Jennifer Beals amongst others.<\/p>\n

The Loudermilk Institute For Sustainability\u00a0was established to provide non-profit services and research for eco-oriented consumer products while her Luxury Eco Stamp Of Approval is a certification that screens other green designers for their eco & aesthetic excellence.<\/p>\n

A\u00a0quote from her site perfectly sums up what the collections are all about:<\/p>\n

“We aim to give eco glamour legs, a fabulous look and a slammin’ attitude that stops traffic and shouts the message: eco can be edgy, loud, fun, playful, feminine (or not) and hyper-cool.”\u00a0 <\/em><\/p>\n
