“Muted tones — mossy greens, dusky roses, ash, and ‘doe’ — comprised the palette, which was created using an AirDye technology, an innovative, eco-friendly fabric dyeing process that reduces unnecessary water waste. ‘When you realize how much energy and water is saved just making one garment, it is mind-blowing,’ Jeffrey Costello and Robert Tagliapietra told me after the show.”

“Comfortable, gorgeous, eco-friendly designs? If that’s not beautiful, we don’t know what is.”

“Costello Tagliapietra incorporated AirDye taffeta into half of the dresses in their collection. The comfortable yet form fitting dresses — inspired by colors found in the natural environment — were breathtaking; reminiscent of grecian goddesses, curve-complimenting, and the idyllic attire for a warm Summer night.”

“Everyone’s trying to do their part to ‘go green,’ but this season Jeffrey Costello and Robert Tagliapietra turned out a collection of eco-friendly clothes, without sacrificing beauty and design, through a process called AirDye — which dyes and prints texttiles without using water.”

...and from Robert Tagliapietra & Jeffrey Costello, the designers

“In the past, making clothes that are eco-friendly and green has meant sacrificing some of their beauty. We use AirDye because it’s a truly sustainable method of print and dyeing — and it’s beautiful. Color is important to us. With this process, we get amazing shades that you can’t achieve with standard printing, a tonal quality that almost looks like a watercolor.”
