Sustainable Fashion Created by Academy Students Hits the Red Carpet
 Actress Ginnifer Goodwin wore an environmentally chic
dress created by Academy of Art University students to the 20th Anniversary Environmental Media
Association Awards!
A group of lucky Academy of Art University
fashion
college students can now add celebrity styling to their resume since actress Ginnifer
Goodwin wore their design to Sunday night’s 20th Anniversary Environmental Media Awards.
Students Priscilla Guimarais, Kumiko Haruyama, Nui Tanapornwattana, Audrey Wang and Tramaine
Tillman created a collection of sustainable dresses for a class project using processes and
practices that ensure sustainability from inception to completion. The final collection was named
1Oak (One Of A Kind).
The chic strapless dress worn by Goodwin, which falls just below the knee, is actually made
from hospital scrubs that would have normally been discarded. The scrubs have been treated, dyed
and pleated using sustainable practices.
In addition to being an outspoken vegan and gracing the covers of many magazines, Ginnifer
Goodwin is known for her roles in
Big Love,
He’s Just Not That Into You and the soon-to-be-released
A Single Man (Tom Ford’s directorial debut).
The Environmental Media Association Awards honor
film and television productions and individuals that increase
public awareness of environmental issues and inspire personal action on these issues. This year
marked the 20th Anniversary of the awards on October 25, 2009 at the Paramount lot in Los Angeles,
California.
