Eco-Conscious Designer Fashions ~ bel esprit Review & Giveaway

In the quest to find new ways to "get green", I am frequently in awe of the eco-friendly offerings I discover.




This case is certainly no exception!

I was recently introduced to bel esprit ~ the international showcase for responsible and sustainable fashion.
Enamored merely touches the surface of my reaction.

bel esprit is your key to exclusive designer fashion that is eco-conscious, 

for introductions to the latest fabulous collections from around the globe,

for the ultimate in chic options that you can feel extremely good about wearing!








From cut to fit wedding dresses, 

to evening and day wear,

jewelry, bags and more...

bel esprit serves as your gateway 
to helping you go even more green 
in a very personal way.

Luxury has been defined as a singular experience: the simple luxury of fully living in a moment, or the luxury of a beautiful and exclusive object.  Today, luxury is no longer defined by price, but rather, by inherent value; no longer the outward display of wealth, but rather, the inward sense of happiness and quality of life.

Led by designer, Akela Stokias, the German fashion house room to roam team exhibits their 2011 summer collection on bel esprit which celebrates Hawaii, while the 2011 fall collection will highlight Equador.  While creating designs that are interpretations of the collection's inspiration, room to roam takes their appreciation of their chosen region to the next level, by encouraging support and preservation of the habitats and inhabitants alike.

Bel Esprit brings together international fashion designers creating a new luxury: elegant and chic collections that value the earth and its resources and are constructed with pride and attention to detail by artisans and workers invested in their creation.
