See all of the GCC looks from this year’s Green Carpet Fashion Awards below:
Amber Valletta in Agnona for the GCC
Amber Valletta wears Agnona for the Green Carpet Challenge. This white hand stitched jacket is made from Century Cashmere. Century Cashmere is an iconic Agnona fabric sustainably produced in the Zegna fabric mill and sourced from Inner Mongolia, where the farming is not intensive. This means that damage to the environment is minimised and traditional farming has remained unchanged. The scarf has been hand woven by the San Patrignano recovery community – each passage of the weft yarns across the warp represents a step forward in life for a person recovering from drug addiction in the San Patrignano programme as they master a craft with a renewed sense of purpose.
Sara Sampaio in Alberta Ferretti for the GCC
Sara Sampaio wears Alberta Ferretti for the Green Carpet Challenge. This nude GOTS certified organic silk georgette dress has been produced in Florence and all other components for this bespoke piece have been repurposed from unused samples from Alberta Ferretti past collections.
Tina Kunakey in Diesel for the GCC
@Tinakunakey wears @diesel for the #GreenCarpetChallenge @ecoage @cameramoda. This look has been made from regenerated cotton denim and natural indigo, using natural dying agents to create darker shades on the fabric. The treatment and frayed edges of the dress and jacket has been achieved with a treatment called “Ice Blasting”. Ice Blasting is an innovative technique for the abrasion of denim and does not generate any secondary waste. Dry ice is non-toxic, non-hazardous and does not release harmful gases into the atmosphere. #GCFAItalia
