Summer got tired of hearing you can’t be green and stylish at the same time. This model for eco-friendly fashion labels and the host of Discovery Planet’s Green-Jobs show, has written the book on how to do it – from cool purses made out of recycled tires to clothes, makeup, jewelry – all as sustainable as they are fashionable. Oakes doesn’t preach – she says her aim is to be “invisibly green.”
So check out the Invisible Green Activist’s visible results in this video about her excellent new book: Style, Naturally: The savvy shopping guide to sustainable fashion and beauty.
If you have no more room in your closet for any new clothes – no matter how eco-chic – check out Summer’s advice on what to do with your old clothes.
