| FASHION / ECOSALON HOME Aug 29, 2008 at 5:00 am by Carlie Partridge Flirting for the Earth Even Mother Nature likes to get a little bit flirty. Designer Lav & Kush tout themselves the "flirt of sustainable fashion". In Hindu mythology, Lav and Kush are the protectors of the forest. Lav & Kush designers do their part through a 100% sustainable textile line of soy and bamboo, with an emphasis on yarn quality and sheer, curve-hugging drape. The collections are femininity embodied and true to their motto of "confident and coy". All the looks are beautiful in their lush celebration of the female form, but don't miss this dark floral number. A bit of an indulgence, the lines often involve plunging necklines and youthful asymmetrical suprises. http://lavandkush.com/images/2008_spring/style1006_sml.png Other pieces are classic, and yes, coy. We're eager to see their inagural Fall line! Related Posts ↓ |
