Earthly Beauties Bring Eco Fashion to Philly

Looking for a little eco-friendliness in your fashion? The Earthly Beauties — a group of five local, sustainable fashion designers and two supportive boutiques — wants to help you do just that, and will put some of the hottest trends at your fingertips during their fashion show and shopping extravaganza this weekend at CITYSPACE in Center City.

Saturday will feature runway fashion show featuring looks by ZivileArt, Ivy Glass Ecouture, 3 by Three, Nicole Rae Styer, D’Agostino Fashion Textile Design and BUS STOP and Arcadia boutiques. Guest emcee Rakia Reynold of Philly 360° will take guests on a tour of the fabrics and finishes while DJs keep a beat and cocktails are passed. There will also be a screening of the original Earthly Beauties fashion show which kicked off Philly Fashion Week back in October.

And all weekend you’ll be able to drop in to do a little holiday shopping for your friends, family and, of course, yourself. Check out stunning clothes, accessories and shoes designed and created with green practices in mind, and chat with the designers themselves for their takes on the looks and what would work best for you.Grab gifts, get the perfect holiday ensemble and give a little something back to Earth, too. Tis the season.

The space will be open for shopping on Saturday, December 11, from noon to 8 p.m. and on Sunday, December 12, from noon to 6 p.m. The fashion show will kick off Saturday at 5 p.m.
