Runway's Rachel Carson

This month American Vogue released its model issue. Of course, we are familiar with the model as muse, but how about the model as activist? Summer Rayne Oakes shows how its done with Style, Naturally, her definitive global guide to eco-friendly fashion. Funny and accessible, the book examines the history of green style, profiles eco-friendly designers, and offers common sense consumer tips.
An environmental scientist and working model, Oakes is a pioneer in her field, participating exclusively in projects she deems environmentally responsible. Her hope is for sustainable fashion to become the norm: "One day we'll wake up and green will not be the new black. It will be the new invisible." And, yes, that is her real name.
