Miss thang “actress and environmental activist” Natalie Portman showed up on Project Runway tonight for the green episode…where all designers had eco-fabrics like hemp-silk blend to work with and this fabulous dress by Suede wins. 
It is very exciting to see eco-fashion grace the halls of the Bravo network, especially with such a graceful celeb ambassador to usher us in. Natalie was obviously mostly there to promote her new vegan shoe collection, but her dress commentary was happily spot-on.
So we had the ‘green’ episode…when is the whole show going to make the move to manipulate sustainable cloth (exclusively) into rapid and amazing creations for our entertainment? Soon, we hope. After shining the light on the fact that most fabric isn’t, maybe they’ll think about going green altogether…?
I hope Suede’s mom is extra proud that he won on this very special episode. And can someone please send Natalie that dress so that we can see it on her in some tabloid somewhere? That would be the best. Suede is our new favorite and we are officially rooting for him.
