be eco chic

As much as my fellow DCites might dismiss it, New York fashion week is going on right now, and I can't help but pay a little attention, especially because this year, Be Eco Chic kicked things off a few days ago in a blue-green way at the Milstein Hall of Ocean Life at the American Museum of Natural History.

It was all about sustainable materials, local food, low energy lighting, carbon offsets...and a giant whale hanging from the ceiling.

And of course, star power. Everyone who's anyone was there, dahling, including blue-greenie Lauren Hutton, who attended Oceana's awards gala last year.
