Tara St. James Skirt Giveaway
I love following Tara St. James because each of her pieces is always so different. When it comes to the sustainable design world, designs like hers are rare but (she won’t want to read this) still very easy to sell.
The Study NY label is her first line since leaving the Creative Director post at Covet, a more commercial line she outgrew artistically.
“˜The Square Project’, was her first clothing line under the new label, which she launched at New York Fashion Week last September as part of The Green Shows. She will be producing another small collection of eco-friendly clothing “all with the ethos of sustainable production,” using recycled and organic materials as much as possible.
This week’s giveaway is one of her high-waisted hemp silk skirts. Resting just above the knee and embellished with side pockets, this just might be one of your new go-to skirts. It looks perfect with a crisp cotton blouse or a slinky tank. This is a multi-tasking piece – exactly what you should have to make your closet stretch.
Feeling it? Leave a comment below and you might soon be wearing it.

Awesome skirt! I’m currently looking for new dresses and skirts for the spring, and this looks like it will be a very versatile piece!

I can’t wait for Spring to get here, so I can wear skirts without tights. This would be a nice piece for my wardrobe.

Wow this skirt is beautiful! I’ve been looking to start wearing skirts this spring. Haven’t since my mom still dressed me, so I don’t have a single one yet.

Nice! I’m ashamed to say that I have never heard of Tara St. James, but it’s great to hear about designers like this!

Amazing, very chic and love the cut – looks like a skirt that would suit any occasion, dressing up or down.

That is one beautiful skirt! I’m curious what is the feel of that shine
February 21st, 2010 at 12:43 PM
Oh, that’s cute! It’s not that cold right now, so if I broke out my wool tights I could wear it right away! Yay!
February 21st, 2010 at 12:44 PM
That skirt is so cute! Are we allowed to win if we live in Australia? It looks perfect for the hot weather we have been having lately!

This skirt is fantastic, it is so versatile and it would be a great addition to my wardrobe, it would be my first silk hemp peice… I’d be thrilled to have it!

That’s a beautiful skirt. Great tailoring, yet it still looks roomy enough to bike in.
February 22nd, 2010 at 12:56 PM
Beautiful skirt! I’d love to wear that! It looks so versatile and easy to dress up or down. sazzyfrazz at gmail dot com

That fabric looks amazing! Is that pleating on the waistband? And pockets! It’s rare that pockets on a skirt work for me, but these surely do. Can’t wait to get out of my jeans and back into my skirts.
February 22nd, 2010 at 3:41 PM
I love the look of this skirt. It seems like it would be great dressed up or down.
February 22nd, 2010 at 8:55 PM
I adore hemp silk. Many of my baby carriers have hemp silk in them. As a professional woman, I would love to wear this to clinic. Thanks for (another) opportunity to win!
February 22nd, 2010 at 9:30 PM
Wow! I just made a skirt very similar to this one! This one is very cute and versatile.
February 23rd, 2010 at 9:46 AM
The fact that is has POCKETS is just icing on the cake!
February 23rd, 2010 at 1:34 PM
I love pockets in skirts, it’s the one thing I hate giving up when wearing a dress or skirt! So thanks for putting pockets in skirts!
February 23rd, 2010 at 1:36 PM
Beautiful style! Elegant and casual.
February 23rd, 2010 at 1:39 PM
I LOVE this skirt. My current fashion obsessions are neutral colors and things made in a completely eco-happy fair way. I hope hope hope I win, it would be amazing
February 23rd, 2010 at 6:35 PM
Fun, flirty, and ready for spring! Love the inverted pleats! Checking out Tara St. James on the web now…

I volunteer full time for the Ethical Fashion Forum to promote ethical and sustainable design and processes in the fashion and textile industry. Consequently I have no money and would love this skirt!

This skirt is really cute. It’d be a great eco-friendly addition to my office wardrobe.
February 27th, 2010 at 10:47 AM
I had the oppurtunity to meet Tara St. James last summer when she graciously opened up her studio to my design class and spoke to us about sustainable fashion. She is a fantastic designer with such an inspiring outlook on the eco-friendly fashion industry. This skirt is beautiful as is the rest of her work!
