With the help of London photographer David Yiu, an entirely [sustainable dress](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/palma) was designed with fashion designer Johanne Bertau-Strenna. The formal gown, which looks red carpet-ready, was constructed using only pure cotton, [recycled second hand garments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/regeneration-nation) and absolutely no new materials. The dress is elegantly embellished with little [florets and flowers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reformation-spring-2025) of all shapes and sizes that have been strategically positioned across the dress. With an over the shoulder style, this dress gives off a Grecian goddess vibe and with its integration with the earth, brings one closer to Mother Nature. The Green Dress by Johanne Bertau-Strenna and David Yiu was created to persuade, encourage and prove that doing the good and green thing does not mean sacrificing style for sustainability. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.1/10 - Popularity: 58% | Activity: 57% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Sustainable Fashion:** The trend of creating eco-conscious fashion pieces using recycled materials and reducing waste. - **Ethical Design:** The trend of designing garments with a focus on social and environmental responsibility. - **Upcycling Fashion:** The trend of repurposing and transforming old garments into new, stylish pieces. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion and Apparel:** There are opportunities for fashion brands to incorporate sustainable practices into their design and production processes. - **Textile and Fabrics:** The use of recycled materials and upcycled fabrics provides opportunities for textile manufacturers to create eco-friendly alternatives. - **Environmental Conservation:** There is potential for partnerships between fashion designers and environmental organizations to promote sustainability and raise awareness. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Eco-Friendly Luxury Dresses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/luxury-dresses.md) - [Eco-Minded Bridal Styles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eastman.md) - [Eco-Friendly Indian Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/latin-quarters.md) - [Sustainably-Focused Experimental Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/upcycled-fashion-collection.md) - [Recycled Metal Jewellery](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/recycled-metal-jewellery-reformation-x-clair-waight-keller-create-a-limited.md) - [Curated Summer Bridal Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bridal-atelier-collection.md) - [Biodesign-Backed Dresses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gozen-x-beymen.md) - [Sustainable Clothing Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/regeneration-nation.md) - [Sustainable Eurovision Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ljmu.md)
