It was only a few years ago when energy efficient cars were becoming all the rage in America. Now consumers are beginning to take notice of eco-friendly items on the fashion side of things-so it was no surprise when Stella McCartney, daughter of Beetle legend Paul McCartney, took home Accessories Council Excellence Awards ‘Green Award’. The English designer created the vegan line in 2001 and now McCartney is getting her just rewards.
