There are so many creative, design-savvy readers on this site, and I want to see what you've been up to in your homes! I hope you will share your styling and decorating ideas with the rest of us in the Lovely Little Vignettes group, which is the place to share photos of the small vignettes you create in your home or those you see online or at a friend's home. (If you're not sure what I mean by vignettes, this slideshow should make it clear.)

Sharon Wauchob Debuts First Edun Collection for Spring 2011

>> When planning Edun's Spring 2011 fashion show, the label's co-founder Bono originally suggested an elaborate outdoor production with models that appeared to be emerging from the water. But he was reminded by Edun's new chief executive, Janice Sullivan, that they were supposed to be "having a fashion show. Show is the second word. Fashion is the first word." So they ended up staging Sharon Wauchob's first show for the brand in a semi-outdoor space, under the High Line, with gray sand and gravel beneath the models' feet.

Edun's mission statement was originally to manufacture in Africa, but logistics caused deliveries to be late — a no-no — and now most of the clothing is manufactured in China, with Africa currently alotted 15 percent of the total production; label co-founder Ali Hewson says she wants to see that number increase each season. Wauchob was brought in to make the clothes more fashionable, Hewson explained: "We focused too much on the mission in the beginning. It's the clothes, it's the product. It's a fashion company. That needs to be first and foremost."

As a front row populated by Dasha Zhukova, Gavin Rossdale and son Kingston, and Jeff Koons looked on, Wauchob sent out white cotton shirts (the fabric fair-trade and produced in Uganda), ecologically sound "by product" leather skirts, belts handmade in Kibera, Kenya, and long dresses trimmed with recycled metal.

2011 Spring New York Fashion Week: EDUN

Today's Edun presentation during Spring Fashion Week managed to make earth tones look rather chic. Under the watchful eye of founder (and wife of Bono) Ali Hewson, its Spring 2011 show went down underneath the High Line in West Chelsea in a space that's usually a parking lot. The brand's new designer, Sharon Wauchob, sent models down the stone-paved runway in gorgeous black and white patterned gowns, as well as deconstructed sweaters, and those earth-toned separates. There were also some offerings for the guys — though many of the male models strutted their stuff delightfully looking shirtless.

The front-row crowd included a few celebrity babies — Gavin Rossdale turned out with his oldest son, Kingston, while Wendi Murdoch brought one of her two daughters. Dasha Zhukova and Julie Gilhart were also in attendance. We caught a minute with Gavin following the presentation, and he revealed he's only attending the shows from Edun and his wife, Gwen Stefani's, L.A.M.B. Ali, meanwhile, spoke about the growth of the label she created following their partial acquisition last year by LVMH. She's trying to maintain the brand's commitment to ecological practices despite the conglomerate's existing business models, but she said, "in order for our business to work sustainably, we have to be a sustainable business."
