Green with Envy: Stewart + Brown Summer 2011 (GreenHouseofFashion Guest Post)

by Julia DiNardo

Guest post via Green House of Fashion:

Recently on my radar and quickly rising the ranks of my obsessions is Stewart + Brown.  This ethical fashion brand launched in 2002 in L.A., California. According to the website, “inspired by their love and respect for nature and a passion for design, Karen [Stewart] and Howard [Brown] were filled with a sense of purpose and determined to pioneer the sustainable fashion movement.”

The stunning look above consists of 100% organic rio tee, bandage reversible skirt and anorak top. Le sigh.

Stewart +Brown designs use only organic cotton and green fabrics. All pieces are made from renewable fibers, sustainably harvested and cultivated without the use of herbicides, pesticides or defoliant. Plus, the fibers themselves are naturally resilient and biodegradable!

What FPD Has Been Up to Lately

by fashionpulse

Decades Denim

We recently celebrated the launch of some fab new styles from jeans experts Decades Denim. With stock in over 150 stores nationwide, it won’t be hard to get your hands on your own pair. The styles are all named; some after denim icons who have inspired designer Cameron Silver, like the Marilyn, and are geared to provide every woman with not just another pair of jeans, but a wardrobe staple.

Industry Press Preview

Earrings from Afaze, necklace by Brandy Pham

With a quick tour through the Industry Press showroom, we’re excited about several spring collections. Look to Brazilian designer Iodice for sultry draping and ruching on Grecian dresses. Kasil Jeans has collaborated with former “Rachel Zoe Project” star Taylor Jacobson to create easy skinny cargo jeans, seersucker slacks, and casual jeggings. The eco-chicsters can check out Stewart + Brown for organic knits, harem pants, and slouchy tanks. Fans of Claire’s and the accessories section of Forever 21 can hit up Afaze, a line of super affordable glam fashion jewelry, while Vietnamese-American jewelry designer Brandy Pham was inspired by every day life to bring us baubles full of gleaming metal, sparkle, and shine in an affordable price range of $28-$158.

MCM

We were fèted in the gorgeous penthouse of the Cooper Square Hotel by German luxury handbag line MCM, who celebrated their 35th anniversary by doing some exciting partnerships with renowned SATC stylist Patricia Field and contemporary artist Craig Redman. Field has added her touch to the line’s large canvas shopper, putting a face designed by one of her favorite artists, Martine, on the reversible bag. The port city of Shanghai was the inspiration for artist Craig Redman’s input, as he infused the bags with a colorful rope pattern that’s fun and whimsical.

Exposure PR Press Day

The Exposures PR Press Day clued FPD into what to look forward to from several fashionista favorites, including Fred Perry and his collaboration with Amy Winehouse, Isaora, DC, Nice Collective, Delphine Charlotte Parmentier, In Case, Levi’s, Globe-Trotter Luggage, Frank Tell, and Graeme Armour. Expect contemporary fabrics with a vintage feel, heavy leather, ethereal jewelry, streetwear that can transition straight to the slopes, and artistic laptop and iPad cases.

Fall Preview: Iodice, Vivienne Westwod Anglomania, Stewart + Brown, Contrarian

by fashionpulse

It seems only last week  I was bemoaning New York’s dreary winter and previewing summer styles, but the arrival of spring means it is time to look ahead…to another season of unpredictable weather, fall/winter 2010. Luckily enough, at a press preview a few weeks ago, the F/W 2010 collections we saw sustained the vigor of summer with bright colors and vivacious prints; those in favor of darker tones kept our hopes up with their clean sophistication.

To start, Iodice, one of Brazil’s most prominent brands, showed its range with a collection that ventures into elegant evening wear, party dresses in head-turning primary colors and maxi dresses in prints certainly reminiscent of summer. For those in need of a reminder of the bygone summer during the fall season, Iodice’s brightly-colored, intricate prints are sure to invigorate you as you struggle against the cold wind.

Also bringing colors and prints to the fall is Vivienne Westwood Anglomania, the American line from Britain’s favorite punk label. Colorful abstract prints, elaborately patterned tights, pink pants and yellow plaid: this is a label for the spirited and rebellious who have fun all-year round. If you’re looking for glamour rather than adventure, the line also offers beautifully draped satin tops and refined cocktail dresses made to impress but not too high on the shock factor.

Environmental protection is certainly in style  all-year round, but Stewart + Brown promises more than organic cotton: for Fall 2010, the California brand evokes a confident and conscientious student who values comfort as much as sophistication. Youthful yet polished, simple yet refined, the brand itself exudes a sense of natural serenity – and, of course, there’s also the fact that it also uses renewable, biodegradable fabrics.

This is one of the rare posts where Fashion Pulse Daily gives a dictionary definition: contrarian, someone who rejects the majority view. It also happens to be a clothing label that at the first glance does not seem to fit into the definition very well, but it only takes a few more looks to see that the Contrarian girl does indeed beg to differ. The simplicity belies this true mission: every Contrarian piece is appropriate for the office and nothing reminiscent of Lady Gaga, but the rebellion is in the details – black skirts with asymmetrical cuts, super-wide-leg trousers, trench coats with oversized collars, cropped hoodies. That it was masterminded by a mother-daughter team speaks something about the label: a contrarian, undoubtedly, but also one who is able to seamlessly transition from one generation to another, from Wall Street to Madison Avenue.
