Lara-Miller-fall-2009-3

As we kiss good bye to summer with heavy rains in many parts of the world, I am sure that many of us started digging their wardrobes for autumn pieces. I thought Lara Miller’s Autumn 2009 collection could be inspiring for those who prefer eco-clothing.

Being a Lexus Hybrid Living Sustainable Partner, Lara Miller promotes environmentally conscious clothing in her collections. She avoids overseas production and pays attention to recycling. Highly influenced by the architectural and cultural landscape of Chicago, you can catch the  built and moving forms poping up in her pieces.

Acknowleding the relatively high prices for green fashion, she designs garments that could be worn in multiple ways. These cloths can be twisted, wrapped, and most distinguishably flipped upside down to reveal a whole new garment. So that you can make up three different sweaters from one. This also connects the garment to the choice of the wearer.

As for fabrics, she works a lot with the handloomed bamboo sweaters, incorporating some organic cotton with seaweed fabric.
