Eco-spotlight: Liya Kebede's organic Lemlem line

Ethiopian supermodel and humanitarian Liya Kebede has dominated runways all over the world, but she wanted to help her country's economic well-being. With this goal, she created Lemlem, an eco-fashion line that uses organic cotton and supports local weavers. 

Lemlem, which means 'flourish' and 'bloom' in Amharic, uses the traditional organic cotton style attire of Ethiopia and gives it a twist that anyone can appreciate.
