Awards last night.

Colin Firth may have won the Best Actor award at the Oscars last night, but his wife deserved a honorable mention for triumphing eco-fashion couture. 

Livia Giuggioli Firth, an Italian film producer known for her dedication to ethical fashion, wore a Gary Harvey-designed gown upcycled from 11 vintage dresses from The King's Speech era. 

Even her eco-jewelry provided by Annaloucah was fair-trade, fair-mined, and made from ecologically certified gold. Aquamarine gemstones from Zambia and diamonds from Lesotho were all fair-trade and fair-mined and support the local communities.
