“Styles by Stiles” is the new (fake) clothing line developed by actress Julia Stiles. The 'Save the Last Dance' star, in an attempt to mock the profusion of [celebrity clothing lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nara-smith-2), has constructed a collection of [faux eco-friendly menswear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mens-wearhouse), which is hilariously featured in this parody video.

On Zoolander-esque male models, Stiles exhibits--with an air of designer indifference--a series of “all-green” styles, including a shirt made out of 10 other shirts, a pair of “shants” (a shirt that doubles as pants--because no fashion line is complete without a hybrid style or two) and a suit crafted entirely out of newspaper. She wisely notes, “People say the newspaper industry is dying. But I say it’s living. Living on your *body*.”

The tie from the suit is made of Swiffer cloths, which, obviously, lends itself to fashion *and* function, as Stiles demonstrates by plucking a cloth and wiping down her sunglasses.

While the Styles by Stiles line has “sold out” (naturally!), according to the [Julia Stiles Styles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/julia-tassel-pump) site you can donate to The Lunchbox Fund, which seems to be a real organization dedicated to providing meals to impoverished children.
