What a morning! Still catching my breath….
Anyway, before I get entrenched in a packing frenzy for this SC trip, I thought I’d leave you with some fashion. I’m going to bring my lap top, so hopefully I can write on the road. In case not, I’ll do my best to load you up now!
My designer du jour is Bahar Shahpar from NY. Not only is does this self-taught designer have an impressive collection, she also has great ethics… from the site:
Sustainability is the cornerstone of our manufacturing philosophy. It has become increasingly clear that we can no longer ignore the impact of industry on our health, habitats, and resources, both present and future — it seems only logical to adopt more sustainable practices.
Producing locally here in New York, Bahar Shahpar designs using only ecologically sound materials, minimizing waste and overall energy consumption in every instance possible. Fibers are evaluated according to the methods used for their cultivation, processing, and finishing, and vintage trims, natural buttons, and unbleached organic cotton linings are incorporated into most pieces.
Combining turn-of-the-century femininity with a sharp playful edge, Bahar Shahpar balances style with substance, honoring artisanship while maintaining a commitment to social and environmental responsibility. Most definitely clothing for a cultivated consumer… like you! Enjoy!
Nice designs. I like.
And the design of your blog is INSANE! I love it! =)
