The Green Carpet Fashion Awards 2019 held over this weekend at the Teatro Alla Scala during Milan Fashion Week. The annual event celebrates the best in sustainable fashion – merging fashion and environmental awareness in the best way.
In attendance was model Adut Akech who is a longtime Valentino muse. For the event which she hosted alongside Spanish model Jon Kortajarena, she wore a micro faille and crepe de chine dress custom made with organic silk, designed by Pierpaolo Piccioli.
With ongoing global conversations addressing the unsustainability of fashion as well as efforts to tackle environmental and social challenges associated with fashion, it was refreshing to know that her look was created with sustainability as a priority. Vogue reports that the dress was created using reclaimed materials and organic silk certified by the Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS).
About her look to the event, Adut said to Vogue;
I feel my most beautiful and confident when I wear Valentino. I always get a say. [Pierpaolo asks] ‘How do you feel? Do you like [the dress]?’ He knows how to bring the beauty out of every woman through his clothes; he’s a genius.
