In Los Angeles, leading actress Zoe Salda?a stepped out on the red carpet at the premiere in support of the RCGD Global x TENCEL? sustainability campaign carrying a black clutch bag by Tyler Ellis lined with a fabric made of biodegradable TENCEL? fibers.Styled by Petra Flannery, the bag’s lining was in a shade of blue that plays homage to Avatar.

At the same event, British actor Henry Cavill wore a double-breasted coat with peak lapel and straight pockets, created by Huntsman using TENCEL? Lyocell fibers, with a strong waistline and high armhole.

“I decided to support RCGD Global, because they are highlighting yet another way for us all to take a step in protecting the planet and her people.It’s highly unlikely that any of us can change an entire lifestyle in one go, but taking small steps, making small changes especially if done in large numbers can make a difference.Sustainable clothing materials is one of those ways.Just as importantly, sustainability in clothing doesn’t mean a lack of quality – The textiles that The Huntsman has provided me are indeed sustainable, while their tailoring remains impeccable – even for a moving target such as me!” said Henry Cavill.
