Prophetik is the latest in the Eco Fabulous series.

Designed by Jeff Garner who hails from Tennessee, Prophetik is an eight-year-old, all-sustainable fashion unisex lifestyle brand. Garner employs the use of peace silk, recycled bottles transformed into fleece, herringbone hemp, linen and hemp jersey in his designs.

The line sees inspiration from Garner’s southern roots and love of horse riding. Celebrity fans of the line include Sheryl Crow, Miley Cyrus, Taylor Swift, Kings of Leon, and the Jonas Brothers. It is stocked in over 40 high end boutiques including Fred Segal and Patricia Field.

Entitled ‘Midnight Garden’, the spring summer 2011 collection consists of gowns, waistcoast, riding breeches. The gradient ombre colouring is achieved with all-natural plant and earth-based dyes on sustainable fabrics such as hemp silk, linen, ramie, organic cottons and reclaimed leather.

Açaí (the antioxidant energising berry from the Amazon), cappuccino, and my PR Courtney Blackman leading me around like a baffled deer.

I am enamoured by his description of his personal style. I like the idea of him wearing the bloomers and riding boots at fashion week! How very distinguished. I will have to keep an eye out for him.

Like him, I will be stocking up on Açaí, in the form of smoothies and juice. to keep my energy levels up.
