The presentation was at the Wallace Collection in London Picture credit: Sean Ebsworth Barnes When Livia Firth started the Green Carpet Challenge, tasking designers to make sustainability desirable, it would have been hard to imagine the fast growth of her project. But this season, when designer Erdem unveiled a 12-piece collection with Eco-Age, Livia's brand consultancy, he succeeded in capturing the essence of "green", both visually and in accordance with certified criteria. As with her project with Sergio Rossi's "green" shoes, Livia has understood that beauty is a powerful weapon for her cause.

Livia Firth offered the designer praise: "I love Erdem's style as its timelessness makes it sustainable in itself," said Livia. "I applaud him for his leadership and for driving sustainability forward both in the industry and within his business." (责任编辑:admin) |
