Monday Monday Monday. I’ve been relaxing all weekend with the understanding that this week is going to be low key… It just so happens that every time I do this, I get slammed with work I either didn’t know about or didn’t see coming. Anyway, enjoy Leananimal!
Leanimal is designed by Leanne Marshall, a graduate of The Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising in San Francisco, and recipient of their Levi’s/Dockers Fashion Designer of Tomorrow award. Marshall began designing her own ballet costumes at the age of 12 and has been designing clothes ever since.
Living in green savvy Portland, and becoming a creature of environment, the incorporation of eco-friendly materials has become a more recent evolution of the Leanimal line. While not 100% sustainable, the usage of these textiles such as hemp, bamboo and organic cottons is seen as a sort of necessity in today’s world and will implement them as much as possible.
Creating beautiful, conceptual garments that are ultimately wearable remains the focus of the line. Leanimal’s signatures feature structural tucks and pleats, non-traditional combinations of fabrics and textures, and always figure-flattering silhouettes.
I love how all of these designers are creating beautiful things with an eye towards the environment. If only we could get the “big guys” to be as progressive!
