In addition to explaining the basics (from fair trade to organically grown), Summer Rayne showcases hundreds of her favourite designers, such as Stella McCartney and Safia Minney and eco-friendly brands such as Levi's, Loomstate and Avida that have made earth-friendly materials and sustainable practises a priority. With over 300 photos, pages of resources and eco-style stories from the hottest trendsetters, its the ultimate fashion and beauty bible for women who want to feel good about looking good.
