eco-minded supermodel goes the green mile

Angela Lindvall’s green bona fides are not in doubt. But even the co-host of Planet Green’s show Alter-Eco occasionally finds herself daunted by the challenge of dressing sustainably. “I’m in this position where people in the media want to know what I’m wearing,” Lindvall noted, as she made the rounds of Designers and Agents Green Market in Los Angeles on Saturday. “And so I’d like to be promoting the brands that are making the change,” she added, “but there still aren’t that many of them.” Not that there wasn’t plenty to see at the D&A Green Market—in particular, Lindvall and stylist Alexandra Aarati Spadea found themselves lingering at the Mr. Larkin and EkoLab stalls as they picked out clothes for an upcoming photo shoot. “I love this,” cooed Lindvall, holding up a sequined twill blouse at Mr. Larkin. “But what does it mean on the tag, where it says ‘made from milk’?” Designer Casey Larkin explained: The twill had been woven from a fiber milled from milk proteins. (Seriously.) Further: The sequins were vintage 1930’s paillettes, and the tag inside the blouse was plantable. Lindvall was duly impressed. Next stop: shoes. En route to Olsen Haus’ display of vegan platforms, the model was sidetracked first by her friend and fellow model eco-phile Josie Maran, and then by her Alter-Eco co-host Adrian Grenier (sans entourage). “That’s the thing about the green scene,” Lindvall mused, as she sidetracked herself yet again with a visit to the organic cotton basics at leAF. “For the moment, at least, it’s still a pretty small world.”
