Autumn Eco Style Preview 1

by Starre Vartan · 08/08/08

Autumn is my absolute favorite time for buying clothes (one word: layers!!). I’m practically craving the cool days, cold nights and swirling leaves as I pant my way through August. One way I deal with my chilly-weather craving is to pour over possible outfits and how new additions will fit in with my slowly growing and carefully curated selection of ecofashions. My closet is due for a very serious overhaul in about a month, and so as I traverse the sustainable style sites, I’ll be sharing my favorite finds with you, dear readers.

Doie has long been one of my fave lines, run by the super-positive Sara Kirsner (who recently moved to LA so she could be closer to where they make her gorg clothes). Below are some previews from her autumn/winter 2008 line.

The ever-beautiful Summer Rayne Oakes models for Doie’s A/W 2008 collection of bamboo and sustainable wool pieces.

Doie cardi
Simple, and very, very flattering cardi that would be a great staple; a little bit something more than just a plain black version, the grey stripe adds interest and graphic charm.

Doie Stripe shirt
A colorful blouse that innocently, but definitely requires that you not be ignored.

Doie lined hoodie
The lining on this hoodie means it can go from weekend-with-jeans wear to relaxed-day-at the office were it worn over a sweet dress. The barely revealed pattern would make for an easy entree into the trend of mixing patterns with patterns- I envision a pretty boho flower print with this star-pattern.

Doie Jacket 1
Sara picked vintage buttons for this limited-run coat.

Doie Jacket 2
What could be prettier than a coat that’s lined with a fun pattern? (same coat as shown above)

    These are great! But, where can I find really affordable eco-chic clothes? My budget doesn’t allow me to stock my closet with $80 tops and $120 jackets. Aren’t there lines that are say $40 tops and so forth? Any suggestions?

    Samantha….shop the sales!! Check out the resources to the right- many of them are having sales on spring/summer items that are great for fall. Also: check Toggery for less expensive tops and also H&M, which is increasing it’s organic cotton wares each season. Remember- the reason that other companies can make clothes so cheap is by underpaying workers in other countries (often children), not providing them with healthcare, and dumping toxic dyes into local river supplies- they are not responsible with the way they create their fabrics, which IS cheaper.

    I understand that, so I’m saving up for more “sensible” buys of staple pieces. However, it’s discouraging to find THE perfect LBD only to find out it’s $285.00. Not everyone can afford that, even with saving. I just wish there was a company out there that I knew had sustainable and ethical business practices with out charging $$$$$$ per item. Sales are what I love. On Under The Canopy the other day I got the long, kimono robe (normally $79) for only $9.99, making it $16.95 with shipping. STEAL! :-D Sale, Sale, Sale. haha
