Lauren Bush designs an eco-friendly fashion line
Lauren Bush, current President George Bush's niece, is going to be launching an eco-friendly fashion line soon. However, she will be naming the line 'Lauren Pierce'.
The following is a blog posting about her line and does not necessarily reflect my own opinion.
But I give Lauren Bush “cool” points for her principled achievements. As an anthropology student at Princeton University in 2005, Lauren went to Chad as a student ambassador for the United Nations’ The World Food Programme.
In 2007, Lauren Bush designed a bag for FEED Projects, which she started with Ellen Gustafson, a former UN Communications Officer. This raised recognition and over 5 million dollars for the UN World Food Programme. A portion of each “FEED 1” bag sold brings hope of an education to an underprivileged child and supplies him/her with meals for an entire school year. Each “FEED 100” bag (available at Wholefoods) provides 100 meals to children in Rwanda. Many celebrities have been caught rooting for the FEED bags, like Desperate Housewives star Marcia Cross and Lauren Bush’s friend- PETA activist Elizabeth Berkley.
Lauren Bush is a serious Fashion Diva, as her modeling has been featured in Vogue and Vanity Fair magazines, and with Tommy Hilfiger, Abercrombie & Fitch, Isaac Mizrahi and Gai Mattiolo. She is signed with Elite Model Management- the agency that America’s Next Top Model winners sign with. Although Lauren’s degree is from Princeton, she also studied fashion design at Parsons The New School for Design in NYC and Central Saint Martin’s College of Art and Design in London.

amyjudd, I like this story. Bush Eco design, sounds challenging like a new day on Wallstreet. The 100 bag is a promotion tool, like 100 other bags for Africa. First is it manufactured in Africa ? The good ones are made in Africa, tha bad ones made in China. The time for polluting climate changing the world, and then FEED the poor victims, the Africans, is over. The Bush family should at least listen to Mr. Zoellick worldbank infrastructure programs. Africans need internet, electricity, microdrip farming, renewable energy for climate change adaptation. 800 million young Africans below 20 years in 2010 will have to leave their dried out continent. US and Europe can make a decision now already, who takes how many millions. Thanks for the working links for opinion making. It is not fair, but for a Bush daughter to get credits for Ecology, seems me like throwing propaganda bombs on the victims of climate change.
