I love this dress by Ryann. Ryann was founded in the lower east side by designer Raina Blyer. Her vision is to seamlessly connect the artistic creativity of fashion and the importance of environmental preservation. All Ryann clothing is made of organic and Recycled fabric. Organic and Recycled fabric means no poisonous pesticide and chemical fertilizers were used in the growing of cotton, soy bamboo or hemp.

Amazing! Awesome! A wedding gown created with fair trade labor and sustainable textiles is hard to find, but one that lights up! That, my dear green friends, will only be found from Austin Texas designer, Rene Geneva.

This unique signature gown is made from a hemp and silk blend with a two foot train created from a fiber optic woven fabric that appears to twinkle when lit by an LED.  You can even pick your LED color.  Available are red, blue, white or green.  The design is stunning, the fabric sustainable, the quality impeccable, the lights  will be all on you!
