High-end fashion will no longer be associated with slave labor and animal furs. The Green Movement has swept the fashion industry, proving eco-friendly fashion does not necessarily mean dreadlocks and hemp frocks. Exhibit B: Linda Loudermilk’s groundbreaking line of clothing and accessories for the green male or female. [Continued from Part I]

Named one of the top 20 innovators to watch by W Magazine, Linda Loudermilk is continuing to change the way we think about environmentally-friendly fashion. Her personal goal is to “ignite expressiveness, encourage clarity in the choices of daily life, and through awareness bring about gratitude of this planet, our home, within which we reside and from which we are fed.”

The history of Linda Loudermilk fashion is a simple one: live a life of luxury that does not damage Earth, but replenish it. She trademarked the term “luxury eco™” and was the first designer to create a luxury+eco lifestyle brand. All products are made from the sustainable fabrics “that she researched and developed, targeted towards the most demanding luxury consumer. She began using organic textiles that are woven from natural sources like bamboo, SeaCell® (seaweed) and Ingeo™ (corn).”

THIS IS PREVENTABLE.” The the purchase of any mission products, 17% of proceeds are donated to clean water initiatives worldwide.
