Vegan Fashion Week—the Los Angeles-based movement fighting for
sustainability and ethical practices in the fashion industry—teamed up with
Red Carpet Green Dress to host the sustainable organization’s 2020
pre-Oscars party.
According to an announcement from Vegan Fashion Week, its founder and
chief executive officer, Emmanuelle Rienda, selected eco-luxury designer
Matea Benedetti to represent the movement with the creation of a gown that
is biodegradable in water, soil, and compost under industrial, home, soil,
and marine conditions. The dress is made up of a Tencel Luxe, which is made
of filament yarn derived from wood pulp for a 100 percent plant-based
material.
“This collaboration is the symbol of the future of fashion where
sustainability meets ethics,” Rienda shared in a statement. “Our mission at
Vegan Fashion Week is to lead and inspire positive change through fashion,
because fashion is activism.”
