FutureFashion LA Shines

Tuesday, April 1st, 2008

Take a big group of fashionistas and sprinkle in some politicians and reporters and you’ll get something a lot like FutureFashionLA, an event sponsored by the CFDA and Designers & Agents held at LA Mayor Antionio Villaraigosa’s official residence. The event focused on environmental design and showcased designers like Debra Linquist, Erica Tanov, Imitation of Christ, Rozae Nichols, Trina Turk and Trovata who each made custom looks with materials donated by Earth Pledge. Check out Stewart+Brown’s yak down shrug and mittens displayed along with a hemp silk smock dress. Hold your horses though, these styles are just a sneak peak at what our Fall collection will have to offer.

Ahoy! Thar be Spring on the Horizon

Tuesday, January 29th, 2008

Once upon a time, an eco-friendly denim line called Del Forte was faced with the question of what tops to photograph with their stylish organic cotton bottoms. Answer, with equally fashionable eco-friendly tops. That, my friend, is how Stewart+Brown and Del Forte ended up in the same boat for Del Forte’s Spring/Summer 2008 ad campaign. Styled by Element 23 and shot with the keen eye of Will Whipple at the Brighton Fishing Museum, these styles fare well together aboard the good ship Eco-frienly. Polluters; walk the plank.
