Julia Stiles Styles!?

Not again. I mean, OK, please more, but still, another celeb is joining the trend of eco-couture? Well maybe not!

The 10 Things I Hate About You actress launched a faux eco-friendly clothing line featuring a suit made of newspapers or a shirt made from 10 other shirts, or the hilariously pun-filled highlight "Save The Last Shants" that is a shirt which can also be pants, Stiles, always the straight woman, pulls it off because she is after all, in on the joke!

Stiles teamed up with comedy troupe The Vacationeers to introduce Styles by Stiles, a 100-percent recycled men's fashion collection that also includes a tie made out of Swiffer wipes and a pair of shoes made out of used tissue boxes. "People say the newspaper industry is dying, but it's living. Living on your body," Stiles deadpans.

While Julia’s website “Julia Stiles Styles” tells you that the collection is currently "sold out." You will conveniently find the true purpose of the spoof. It's to draw attention to the charity, The Lunchbox Fund — an organization which provides impoverished children in the township schools of Alexandra and Soweto with lunch for the day.

According to their site, The Lunchbox Fund where their motto is "Feed a child, Feed a mind" targets the poorest children and schools and provides them with nutritional meals. Typically the children are fed peanut butter and/or jam sandwiches on whole wheat bread with a piece of fresh fruit daily.

Contributions are accepted in the form of a money order, cashier's check or personal check payable to:

The Lunchbox Fund9229 Sunset Blvd., Suite 414Los Angeles, Calif. 90069 USA
