The tanned and coiffed models glistened in the setting sun and sashayed in the warm breeze down the daisy-lined runway. A random 70 degree day in April may be disdained as the negative effects of global warming, but it provided a beautiful setting for the Earth Week Fashion Event, hosted by Bui-Lavry PR last Tuesday.
The show was held on the rooftop of The Park NYC, a trendy Mediterranean Chelsea restaurant with sky lighting and brick flooring in the main dining area that makes you feel like you’re still outside. It was there that sponsors greeted you with “NO PLASTIC” bracelets from Everybodygreen.com and sign up sheets for environmental newsletters and causes with Aveda, The New York Post and Green Drinks.

With no access allowed backstage, I took the extra time to admire the art work. Yuko Ueno provided the butterflies, dragonflies and other insects that clung to her outfit and the trees in the reception area. Fabrice Covelli provided art installations of balls, like one made of unraveled yarn to illustrate the waste that we commit in the environment.
