With all the efforts of change and awareness being made these days, many of us understand that doing your part to help Mother Earth is more imperative than ever. Foundations and fund raising for everything from saving the whales to helping our fellow men have been popping up in every form, including fashion! Introducing: EDUN, a line of contemporary and fashion forward pieces that are comfortable, versatile and stylish and made of organic materials like silks and cotton. The simple and clean lines of this industrial-chic label skim the body with sumptuous knits and fabrics and are presented in a classically neutral color palette of blacks, whites, greys and creams. The best thing about EDUN is that not only do they offer a variety of beautiful dresses, tops, tees and outerwear, they use their publicity and proceeds to bring more awareness to the current plight and hardships that many African countries are facing, as well as educating us on how rich a land Africa truly is. While EDUN garments definitely have an air of earthiness like many ethical fashion lines, it is a brand that has a truly contemporary design aesthetic and believes that the popularity of high fashion and giving something good back to our world are two things that easily go hand-in-hand. Check out some of EDUN's organic pieces and see how you can help make the world a better place, one stylish garment at a time. Just clock on the slideshow to see some favorites!

Just knowing that designer Ronny Kobo loves Africa, Cleopatra, and loads of accessories, it's no surprise that her latest collection pays homage to indigenous tribes and safari animals with its wild prints and graphics, and lends itself to piling on plenty of jewelry! Torn by Ronny Kobo seeks to give women a sense of casual stylishness without having to resort to boring basics -- and after one look at the latest African-inspired collection, it's clear that these pieces are anything but boring! Featuring long flowing maxidresses, flattering striped skirts that fit the body just right, and floaty tunics that take tribal patterns to a new level of effortlessness, the summer 2010 collection is hardly just casual, but manages to exude earthy style without all the fuss, and allows for plenty of fashionable interpretation with the addition of accessories. Check out the slideshow for a glimpse at the latest line!
