Review is in: Leanne Marshall Project Runway Collection



Now that the complete Leanne Marshall Project Runway collection has been made available on Bluefly, we can share more specifics on the manufacturing and textile composition. Happily, the line has been manufactured in the USA, which is a huge plus.

However, the tencel/rayon blends with silk lining are Dry Clean only and not as eco-friendly as a bamboo/organic cotton blend, which many lines (including Sublet and Ryann) use successfully for a beautiful drape. As for the pieces, other than the gorgeous (and not-realy-eco) blue gown we showed you yesterday, the standout of the bunch would have to be the 100% bamboo jacket (above). It is machine wash and styled to be worn in different ways, but we really wish it was done in a bold color in addition to basic khaki.

Check out another review and see what the fabulous Green Grechen had to say about the Leanne Marshall line. Her honesty is always refreshing.

Check Out Eco-Fashion Month at Grechen's Closet


If you haven't heard of GrechensCloset.com, you best get over to this useful site and check it out. After running a successful blog/shopping directory/discount code resource/apparel review site for quite some time, Grechen has increasingly been moving her site toward the realm of eco fashion.

Just as most Fashionably Responsible consumers do, she started with small eco steps here and there, and has gone full force, declaring June "Eco-Month" at GrechensCloset.com. So head on over for interviews with eco designers and retailers (including yours truly) and recent reviews of green fashion items galore, including the new 100% certified organic cotton SPUN line (available in entirety only here at Fashion Ethic), and her review of the Sublet "Anais" cardigan and Peligrosa 3-fold cami back on June 5th, as pictured.
