Eco-friendly takes center stage at the 2010 Leo Awards
Overflowing with elite eco brands from Vancouver and across Canada, the esteemed 2010 Leo Awards gift bags were planet friendly beyond compare.
The Leo Awards took place Friday June 4th and Saturday June 5th at the Westin Bayshore Hotel, to honour the best in British Columbian television and film production. This year’s loot, comprised by Eco Fashion Week Vancouver, included everything one would need to live an eco friendly lifestyle. From the coveted KOBO Ereader to Sappho Pure Mineral Make Up to Tonic Lifestyle Apparel, the 2010 Leo Awards gift bag were every bit luxurious. The recycled jewellery was a celebrity favourite that featured a necklace from Dotted Loop, bracelets from Ecocessories and earrings from Street Cat Designs. Eco Fashion Week looked for only the most environmentally innovative and one-of-a-kind products. “The gift bags were a huge success and we look forward to working with them again in the future.” – Drew Scott (Leo Awards co-producer)
The Leo Awards gift bags were made up of donated products given to presenters as a token of appreciation. Presenters for the 2010 Leo Awards included Smallville’s Kristin Kreuk, Reaper’s Tyler Labine and Stargate Universe’s Elyse Leveque, who is also the face of the September 2010 instalment of Eco Fashion Week. The Eco Fashion Week team, who were at the Leo’s filming a webisode for a behind the scenes look at “what goes on at a fashion week” handed out the bags to the celebrity presenters. The webisode will be posted sometime this month on Eco Fashion World, and will feature celebrities from the likes of Lou Diamond Philips and Aaron Ashmore receiving their eco friendly gift bags.
One of the biggest comments about the bags was the diversity of products – Pureology Shampoo, SIGG Water Bottle, a restaurant gift card from Wild Rice and Energy Max organic drink all brought something different to the sustainable swag. The array of eco fashion, beauty, gadgets and services were a hot topic throughout both nights, and was a considerable step for planet friendly brands to reach mainstream audiences.
