Gone With the Wind
Before it was considered en vogue to go green, designer Linda Loudermilk was blazing the trails of eco-chic fashion.

Now that Los Angeles Fashion week is following suit, Loudermilk remains ahead of the trends, taking her commitment to the environment to the next level: eco-luxury.

The theme of her Spring 2008 collection is "Windpower," and on October 17 at 6:30 p.m. BP's LEED-certified eco-gas station on Robertson & Olympic will serve as Loudermilk's unusual, environmentally friendly venue.

While always committed to nature and preservation, this season Loudermilk was directly inspired by dramatic gusts of wind, with large windmills powering the runway.
