TARYN HIPWELL
Host, Teacher, Creator and Designer
CEO of EcoDivas LLC
www.EcoDivasTV.com
Taryn is originally from Pittsburgh, PA, where she grew up climbing trees, planting flowers and re-designing dresses from a very young age. Recently she created jungle inspired club wear for Zambia’s first ever completely GREEN music video Super Uber Feeling by pop star Kachanana, which Taryn produced and directed.
Taryn has taught “Sustainability and the Fashion Industry” at San Francisco State, Michigan University and Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising. She also teaches “Eco Fashion”/“R’ashion"/”Recycled Fashion” at Environmental Charter High School through Youth Policy Institute, YEN Zambia (Youth Environmental Network) and at Hollywood Media Arts (a school that helps at-risk young adults get off the streets).
Taryn’s unique repurposed designs can be seen on HGTV’s The Antonio Treatment – a Kimono quilt and Mexican blanket pillows; and in PAPER Magazine – a tissue paper Alexander McQueen replica dress.
Taryn has been featured in the movie Hot, Rich and Green, on Current TV and in Huffington Post. She’s been a special guest on Zambia’s #1 entertainment talk show Smooth Talk and on Q FM, so that she could share with the whole country what Recycled Fashion is and why it’s important for Zambia’s economy and environment.
