The fashion biz is working hard to make itself more sustainable, and I am always excited when I hear about new initiatives, big or small. Today's news is particularly cool as it comes from my friend Mary Alice Haney, who just launched her label. The concept is to take all the leftover luxe fabric from her line's prior bestselling designs and re-cut it into new, right-this-minute silhouettes, all done in LA, so there is no overseas shipping/carbon footprint required. She's making limited batches for now, and I'm getting one before they're gone!
The maxi dress, typically regarded as a warm weather staple, is going to new heights this winter. Spotted all over the streets of New York during Fashion Week, this effortless, feminine silhouette proves it's now a year-round go-to--and I'm ready to slip in right this minute with boots (or sneakers) and a warm topper, and later with toe-baring sandals and a ponytail. The maxis I'd max out season after season include these by , , , , , , , and .
