Eco Fashion Love: Susan Woo S/S 2010

Inspired by Faye Dunaway's style in the classic movie Bonnie and Clyde, Susan Woo's S/S 2010 collection offers us a fine take on flowy fabrics mixed with power, structure, and feminity. However, what really makes Susan Woo so dope is that "all of the fabrics used are 100% all natural and sustainable and include organic wool, cotton and cashmere, they are also sourced from companies that have a strong envoironmental committment."

Our New Favorite Designer: Duro Olowu

Fun, colorful, flirty, fresh and clean are just some descriptions to describe Duro Olowu's S/S 2010 collection. Prints, graphics and draping are key elements in his collection. To be honest, we just discovered him while reading our Fashion Indie newsletter. We were so excited because we fell like we just discovered something great. Mr. Olowu was born in Nigeria, Olowu first started out as a lawyer before delving into fashion. His signature "Duro" dresses, with the empire waist billowing and the vivid prints, caught the eye of US and British Vogue. He eventually won "New Designer of the Year" in 2005 at the British Fashion Awards. He is influenced by both Nigeria and England in his designs, what with the innovative London and the culture of Lagos, his hometown. More images via Style
