Hey darlings!
Last night, September 4th, for the first
time ever, The Museum of Natural History held it’s first every fashion show. Of
course it was for a good cause; the BeEcoChic fashion show, which kicked off
their global awareness campaign of the same name.
Show co-hosts Angela Lindvall, co-host of Planet Green’s
Alter Eco and Carl Pope, the Executive Director of the Sierra Club kidded
around with each other and explained the importance of living green to the
packed crowd.
Celebrities in the crowd included Adrian Grenier (Entourage),
who was friendly and gracious to all his fans, to Chevy
Chase who walked away from people or told them to “Get out!” Designer
and Project Runway alum, Laura Bennett came with her husband and children. Cast
members of The Real Housewives of New York City sat in the audience watching
one of their own stalk the runway.
