(SPONSORED) The 2nd annual Vert Couture Eco-Fashion Show is just one of the things turning Chicago into a greener city. The event, which kicked off in 2009 to much success, is set for October 24th, and this year, the theme is "sexy and sustainable."
Presented by Conscious Living TV (a green TV, film and event production company), Mercedes Benz of Chicago and Chicago Gateway Green, the Vert Couture Eco-Fashion Show will cap off Chicago Fashion Focus Week 2010. This runway show is sure to get all veganistas scrambling for a ticket, because not only will it feature some of the city’s top fair trade and eco fashion brands -- Sophia Forero, Modahnik and Crescendo Apparel, just to name a few -- there will be vegan cuisine and cocktails. Even the decor will be sustainable!
Check out the video and gallery to see highlights and photos from the 2009 show.
