i'll just reference her site, bc she says it best herself!
Fashioned from eco-friendly fibers such as organic cotton, hand-loomed bamboo, hemp and vegan silk, Lara's modular designs are created with a playful geometry that connects to the personalities of the women who wear them. Most garments can be wrapped, reversed, and most distinguishably flipped to reveal an entirely different look.
Acknowledging the impact that we all have on our environment, Lara aspires to preserve and respect our earth in every way possible. "I see my company as a way to support my community - not only by using organic materials while adhering to a “green” lifestyle and workspace - but also by manufacturing locally and working to sustain the sewn products industry in Chicago."
these pieces are GORGEOUS and will become staples in your closet, not just disposable fashion. there are quite a few pieces on my wish list, but the first would be the "hudson dress" because it's so cute and versatile. you can create a few different dresses and only buy one piece!!! and it's simple and classy too. and like miss coco chanel said: "a girl should be two things: classy and fabulous." lara and her designs encompass those wise words completely.
just this week, lara showed for the first time at NEW YORK FASHION WEEK! she was a featured designer at the GreenShows Eco-Fashion Week. how cool is that??!! this just goes to show you that wearing "green" clothing no longer means hemp sacks and hippie garb. green is the new black kids! it's very exciting. lara was also featured on oprah.com. chicago love!!!http://www.oprah.com/article/style/fashion/20090914-orig-lara-miller
