The Oscars go green

Suzy Amis Cameron’s husband may be crowned ” king of the world ” for a second time on Oscar night, and for that glittering occasion, the Oklahoma City native will make a very special fashion statement when she walks the red carpet on ” Avatar ” director James Cameron’s arm.

Of course, every woman attending the 82nd annual Academy Award ceremonies March 7 will be dressed to the utmost nines, as always, in original creations from the most exclusive glad rag makers in the world, while Amis Cameron will be wearing a number made out of sustainable, environmentally friendly materials and designed by Jillian Granz.

And right now, fashioni stas are going, What? Who?

” To give you a little bit of background, I actually started a school with my sister Rebecca Amis out here in California, ” Amis Cameron said in a recent phone interview from Malibu.
” And it’s an environmental school with a very large component of global citizenry, and it’s a nonprofit, so we’re always looking at ways to raise money. And one of the ideas that we came up with last year was creating a dress contest. ”

The ” Red Carpet Green Dress ” competition was open to entrants from all around the world, affording aspiring garment stylists the opportunity to design an environmentally conscious red-carpet dress and have it showcased in front of millions during filmdom’s most prestigious event.
“We had [ entries ] from all over the globe,” she said. ” Italy and Australia and Spain, South America; they just came flooding in. ”
