See the Timeless Style of New Green Fashion
Take a peek at the latest from Stewart+Brown.
Stewart + Brown has been making eco-fashion since 2002, and from the very first collection I spied in late 2004 until today, the brand has been defined by an incredible sense of classy sophistication, without ever being considered old ladyesque (though I've always felt that most of the companies' pieces, and especially it's knits, could be worn by women 16-90). The company's style has a definite California vibe (they are LA-based) but the warm knits are perfect for Northeastern winters as well. And did I mention comfy enough to wear while on a cross-country flight, but lovely enough for dinner with the parents?
As you'll see in the video tour below, the company's designers are constantly innovating with new, natural materials, like yak, hemp blends, organic cotton and Mongolian cashmere (and as described in the video, they work directly with collectives in Tibet and Mongolia to create their signature knits).
The company was also a sponsor of the Project Green Search Model competition, providing ensembles for the finalists to model as part of their photo shoots. Their Fall/Winter 2010 collection is filled with gorgeous pieces; I've picked just a few of my favorites below.
Eliza Thermal Cardi, 100% Mongolian cashmere, $428, featured w/ the Aston Scarf (in Clove Loom print), 96% hemp, 4% Spandex, $64.00
Etta Scarf Cardi, 96% hemp, 4% Spandex, $148, Clara Bandeau, 96% hemp, 4% Spandex, $68 Ida Reverse Skirt, 96% hemp, 4% Spandex, $118
Clara Wrap Vest, 100% Mongolian cashmere, $399, featured w/ the 3/4 sleeve Pocket Henley (in Majestic print), 100% organic Pima cotton, $88
Ellet Blanket coat, 100% boiled wool, $382
