On the Run with Label Eco Fashion: Spring/Summer 2010

Elvira Dress • 91% Silk / 9% Spandex.

The first thing you’ll notice about Label, by Natalie Sydoruk and Shawna Robinson is the edginess of the design, then you’ll clue into the sustainable aspects. Or at least that was my reaction to this 80’s meets Blade Runner interpretation of day- and evening-wear.

Label’s latest collection “..tells the story of a couple on the run, hiding in a seedy motel room.” Love it! This spring, the collection features fabrics containing organic cotton, hemp, lyocell, bamboo and silk.

With all production based in Toronto, the designers oversee each step of the process to ensure the collection meets their desire for quality clothing and ethical practices. The Spring Summer collection is now available online at the See No Label boutique
