Last month, I had the opportunity to meet New York designer, Rebecca Minkoff at her media launch for her Spring/Summer and Fall/Winter collections. It was such a treat to meet her and join in the fun.
In honor of today, Earth Day (April 22), Rebecca has re-launched RM Green(e), a collection of made to order pieces that are size inclusive and environmentally friendly. The name pays homage to the original Rebecca Minkoff flagship store, 96 Greene Street.
In partnership with Resonance, this collection uses cutting-edge technology to help mitigate waste, ensure fair labor practices, eliminate toxic inks, and reduce excess water usage, while using a block-chain traceability system.
Check out this Sustainability Made Collection.

The daughter of a Filipino-Chinese mother and an Italian-East Indian father, she comes by her exotic global influences naturally. After pursuing degrees at the University of Victoria (Nursing), and the University of British Columbia where she got her MBA, she packed her passport and headed out to the airport. Stops in Buenos Aires, London, Paris, Barcelona, Rome, Dubai and Tokyo gave this world traveler a true appreciation of the international lifestyle. Elena authored the book The Love List: A Guide To Getting Who You Want, which was published in 2013. Elena has appeared on the Tamron Hall Show, NBC News BETTER, The Today Show (Australia) and Good Morning Washington. She has also published countless pieces for both online and print: Thrive Global, Huffington Post Canada, Cosmopolitan UK, BELLA and RESIDENT Magazine. And now, House of Coco. Besides being a published author, the multi-talented Murzello also secured a reoccurring acting role on the Showtime series The L Word, (available on Netflix) and has appeared in television commercials for international brands such as AT&T.
