Designer Mika Machida
Mika Machida’s eponymous line is the poster child for all that is good in fashionably organic (not to mention graphic design).
You may have seen some of her signature tops infiltrating the net for some time now, like her butterfly or elephant tops.
There’s a reason why this is happening.
Her work is different and the fact that she uses water based inks and certified organic cotton is just a bonus to her truly incomparable designs that meld environment with art.
Influenced by pioneer eco-clothing boutique Ekovaruhuset, Mika saw early on the benefits of designing while seeing urban life’s impact on the environment.
“Long ago everything on earth was organic, and the word organic didn’t even exist,” she says on her site. “Fortunately, we are in a generation that is aware of these mistakes and we are starting to change our ways,” she says.
With designers like Mika at the helm, it’s exciting to see where organic fashion will take us.
