New York Fashion Week is something out of the ordinary as of lately. This isn’t your regular New York chic: it’s fashion week, and green fashion is giving everyone a run for their money. From real life looks to over the top avant garde creativity, green fashion is becoming quite the trademark of this twice yearly fashion frenzy event.

Among the many designers featuring green articles in their lines, Samantha Pleet stood out among all the rest. Samantha Pleet showed her collections at the GreenShows during New York Fashion Week. The Brooklyn designer, uses only organic cotton, organic wool, and makes her fantasy outfits in a wind powered factory in New York City. Yes, we said a wind powered clothing factory in New York City. Didn’t think it existed? Neither did we.

Her statement is one expressed through dark colors, somewhat rough looking materials, and her clothing is certainly not suited for that of a suburban housewife. She touches on the unreal and fantasy world and brings a whimsical, dark feeling to her clothes that is original and unlike any other we’ve seen. Her fashion shows are to say the least dramatic, yet all the while environmentally dreamy.

The renowned designer just recently released a men’s line called Patrick Pleet, which will soon be available in stores worldwide. So whether you’re a man looking for a twist to that boring suit of yours, or a woman looking for a new look that might surprise and maybe even shock some others, Samantha Pleet has the designs you need. All that, along with being eco friendly, we certainly are happy to say Pleet’s designs are an HIG Magazine favorite.

The green fashion scene has certainly taken off and we’re proud to say that it looks like “Green Fashion Shows” during Fashion Week are here to stay.
