Earth Night, A Party for the Planet

Earth Night Eco-Fashion Show

Under New York’s crowning glory, the Empire State Building, decked out in green lights, several hundred Eco-partiers reveled the night away at Earth Night, “a party for the planet” on April 22, 2009, the 39th anniversary of Earth Day. Organized by Margaret Lydecker of Greendrinks NYC, and a little help from some friends such as EarthDayNY, the night featured free samples of eco-friendly Hors d’oeuvres and drinks, and was held at the new high-end green furniture store called “Environment” at Broadway and 18th Street.

The best part of the night was the Eco-Fashion Show featuring fashions from the 2009 collection at House of Organic on Ludlow Street. The show was produced by Colin Miles, who said he feels that green is the right way to go, and interest in eco-fabrics is increasing.

Below are some photos from this great night.
