6 Celebrities Who Wore Eco-Fashion to the 2012 Oscars : As Tinseltown’s biggest night unfurled, no less than six A-list celebrities proved that sustainability and glamor were far from mutually exclusive. From an Oscar-wielding “Iron Lady” to two of Britain’s national treasures, here are the marquee names who turned the red carpet green at the 84th Academy Awards.  Three-time Oscar-winning actress Meryl Streep headed Livia Firth’s “Green Carpet Challenge” in a gold-lamé gown by Lanvin. ”

“The gown is gold, full-length and made from eco-certified fabric sourced with help from the GCC,” Firth wrote in her blog. “I could not be more delighted! Can you tell? Firth wore a bespoke Valentino gown derived from a blend of silk and recycled PET plastic. “The resulting gown absolutely appeals to the romantic side of my nature, but has that high sheen that the red carpet demands,” the Eco-Age creative director wrote.  She accessorized with sustainably sourced (and  traceable) pink diamond jewelry by Calleijia.

Her husband, Colin Firth, “recycled” his organic-wool Tom Ford suit from the 2011 Oscars, where he won Best Actor for The King’s Speech.

Actress Missi Pyle wore the winning design from Suzy Amis Cameron’s “Red Carpet Green Dress”competition. Valentina Delfino, who created the cruelty-free, mineral-dyed “peace” silk gown, was among hundreds of hopefuls who entered the contest. Pyle completed the look with shoes by Christian Louboutin and accessories by Stella McCartney.

Kenneth Branagh, who was nominated for Best Supporting Actor for playing Sir Laurence Olivier in My Week With Marilyn, donned a custom-made Ermenegildo Zegna tuxedo made with eco-friendly merino wool. “The wool is sourced from Australian non-“mulesed” merino sheep,” Firth said.

Also wearing Ermenegildo Zegna was Best Actor nominee Demián Bichir.  “We went for a made-to-measure tuxedo designed with TROFEO 600 fabric, which is a blend of superfine wool and silk,” Firth noted.

Birdelini has lots of BIG news!!!! She now has a twitter handle (@Birdelini) and a Facebook Page – If you are a Facebook user then please go and “like” her new page so she can get rid of all those numbers after her name! Do you love/like Films? Do you love/like Fashion?   Then Birdelini latest plan  is one for you! She is going to be doing a RED CARPET twitter and Facebook blitz! It should be a blast. She cares about who they are wearing – i.e thier Blossoms, their shoes or as she calls them their petals, the Bling which she calls the Orchids, and the water they are drinking! Are you excited? We are! Gorgeous glam galore!

Need a little Oscar prep help? Birdelini is having fun with the Oscar iPad app – and she just discovered the Vanity Fair Ballot App! (Click here for Vanity Fair)( iPhone, iPad and Android. All are FREE!!!) ” We know you’re going to predict the winners come Oscar night, whether in a voting pool or a head-to-head competition, and our new app ballot makes choosing winners on iPhone, iPad, and Android as glossy and rich an experience as flipping through the magazine.”- Vanity Fair

Does our “fashion” and wearable art (i.e. our clothing) define us?

I am fascinated by this! We all know if you dress “better” you feel “better.” How much do you think about your “personal style” and the ID tags you attach to that? Hmmm – just fascinating.

From a site I enjoy called Design You Trust, I came across this man named Dean Christian.(link)  Here is his take. Check out his website for more info and images. According to his twitter page he is a Fashion/portrait photography student in LA. I think he is a good find to watch.

“Clothes are a funny thing. When we put a certain piece of clothing on it can change us. It affects how we feel, how we walk down the street, how we go about our day. For many, style is a form of self-expression. You can often tell how a person is feeling by what they are wearing.

But does our style define us as an individual? Does it ultimately replace one’s identity?” – Dean

Here is Birdelli with and without…. hmmmmm

Can you see yourself in this outfit? Well, OK, maybe without the hat!
