Love: Habitude's spring dresses
Spring has sprung and all I want is dresses, dresses, dresses. I'm even putting myself on a dress-only clothes-purchasing diet, as the t-shirt + jeans thing is getting so old and I'd much rather feel all twirly and carefree and girlish for now.
The dresses I covet most each come from Habitude's spring/summer 2007 collection: There's the hemp-silk charmeuse empire dress (left) and the organic cotton gathered empire dress (not left); both are available at The Green Loop. Habitude's fantastic because they use organic and sustainable fabrics and produce everything domestically. And - as we learned from the wonderful fiftyRX3 - designer Laura Chapuis first got into ecofashion upon pairing up with Diane Von Furstenburg to create an outfit out of recycled-plastic-based fabrics while studying at FIT. After working in the fashion industry for eight years, Laura split New York and shipped off to Texas to find something a little more meaningful. There she discovered that most of the organic cotton in the U.S. was grown in Texas, and - voila - Habitude was breathed to life.
Oh, and all you New Yorkers can get Habitude stuff at Kaight, whose online shop I just discovered five seconds ago and has already taken over my life, in a really nice way.
