One of the biggest trends currently is "Save the Earth!" The green movement gained momentum several years ago, and though the economy has thrown it for a loop, this movement is not going anywhere.
Rodarte is a new luxury goods company, and as such, they surely can step up to this trend and do their part. Since Rodarte's inception, dyeing and leathers have been a big portion of thier collections. However, there is no information if any of this is "green" or not.
My suggestion is that they use vegi-leather, and air-dyeing. Air-dyeing is a dyeing process that uses 80% less water than normal dyeing processes use. This way, much less water is contaminated by dye chemicals, therefore fewer chemicals are used to sanitize the water as well! Vegi-leather (or Veggie-) is not the most environmentally friendly, unfortunately, yet it is cruelty-free, as it uses man made materials. PETA is definitely one of the biggest supporters of this option. And, let's face it--who doesn't want to save a few adorable animals?
