COMING - FALL 2013
unconventional clothing
FOR THE DARING AND ECO-MINDED WOMAN
COMING - FALL 2013
Who wears MALVAR = STEWART
A woman whose fashion challenges convention without compromising her elegant style.
She is mindful of how her clothing impacts the environment.
She does not change her wardrobe every season, rather… she continues to build upon the quality pieces she already enjoys.
She buys every piece to complement her beautiful persona and not the other way around.
ABOUT US
I create unconventional, unique, and conceptual clothing, while being mindful of the environmental impact during each stage of the pieces' life cycle.
With every piece, I strive to be a pioneer. That is, I discover and create simultaneously.
The MALVAR = STEWART line consists of two categories:
Hard Line: Pieces are created using fine vintage wool fabrics salvaged from unwanted inventory from a men's tailor shop that closed down in Hollywood in the 1950's called Stewart's.
Many fabrics were produced in England and Scotland, using techniques that are now rare or even obsolete.
Pieces include tailored suits, coats, and coordinates. Approximately 70% of every piece is sewn by hand.
Soft Line: This line is created to complement the Hard Line and consists of dresses, blouses, skirts, and wraps.
All fabrics are created using eco-conscious surface design techniques such as nuno felting (using fleece from local farmers), eco-dyeing and imprinting (using natural dyes), shibori dyeing with natural dyes, hand-spinning, hand-weaving, and hand-knitting.
Many fabrics for the Soft Line are dyed, printed by and created in collaboration with fresh cut Textiles. fresh cut Textiles creates unique fabrics, using natural dyes and eco-conscious processes.
MALVAR = STEWART is not only using eco-friendly surface design techniques, but strives toward using more eco-friendly fabrics for the soft line, such as organic cottons and ethical silks.
I hope that by enjoying my line, you will also discover the exciting local talent that can be found when you seek it!
