America is going green—especially in beauty, with lines like bareMinerals, Juice Beauty, Korres, and Stella’s CARE—so I jumped on board as a designer recently. I participated in "green" design event; a showcase of dresses and objets d'art made of pre-printed materials and other things that would normally hit the dumpster. It's pretty much dresses made out of would-be wasted paper. Everything possible was recyclable or compost-able, including the cutlery, plates, cups, etc.— and this dress made out of coasters, which I designed with my brilliant friend Jennifer. (Yes, the kind you enjoy a pint with. Isn't it amazing what a few blue coasters can do?). It may not be possible to go entirely natural yet, at least in America, but times are changing. Expect to start seeing more green—everywhere from our produce stands to cosmetic counters. — Cade Peterson, Sephora

Phenomenal!
I love the ocean-sea feeling. It even looks like something a mermaid would wear.
It's good to see events that inspire and promote "green" living.
Wow... I never thought of it as having an ocean feeling, or mermaid theme, but since you mentioned it, it does! The way the dress is shortened on its right side gently give a hint of a tail. The model-molded bustier add to the mermaid effect as well... Wow, I like it even more now!
