Red Carpet Green Dress campaign teams with Reformation

Share

If you’re looking for dressy wear that’s kind to the environment, there’s a new option.

The Red Carpet Green Dress campaign, Suzy Amis Cameron’s initiative to raise awareness about sustainable clothing via an annual design competition that culminates with an actress and actor wearing the winning garb to the Oscars, has teamed with L.A.-based clothier Reformation to make versions of winning gowns available to the public.

The collection is called No Red Carpet Needed, and it consists of six dresses inspired by past winners of the competition. Reformation tweaked the designs to make them a bit more wearable in the real world, so that they can transition from day to night. Each of the six silhouettes will be available in two colorways, and prices range from $68 to $328. They were all cut and sewn in Reformation’s factory in downtown L.A., using sustainable practices and materials.

The collection is available now at Reformation’s Los Angeles and New York boutiques and is online at www.thereformation.com.
