Organic Clothing – Fashion 'Do' or 'Disaster?'

Several months ago, I was sent a dress from Spun. The only thing I knew about the designer, was that it was an “organic clothing” company.

I met Sara, the designer, on Twitter. She is a classy lady who I enjoyed trading fashion quips with. When she sent me the dress, seriously, I thought “oh how nice, I’ll probably give it to someone who will appreciate it”.

The dress arrived, and I tried it on. The fit was phenomenal (another thing I didn’t expect from an “organic clothing” line). And the style was very fashion forward, and truly a cut I would choose over and over again.

Over the next few weeks, I found myself pulling out my Spun dress time and time again. I found ways to dress it up, and to dress it down. Here is a photo of my favorite way to wear the Cowl neck dress.

Spun is a very young company (about a year and ½ old), and has 2 active collections for sale. The thing that has impressed me the most is the price point…I haven’t seen anything over $100, with prices ranging from $25 to $98.

I am looking forward to seeing Spun’s Summer 09 collection, and my sincere hope is that Sara designs a function everyday dress for summer, like the Cowl Neck Dress I work all winter long!

  1. Organic clothing is very fashionable. I even went to an organic fashion show last month. Unless it's one of my environmentalist t-shirts you can't tell the difference between my organic clothes and traditional clothes. All I wear now is organic clothing. It's not your normal hippie wear anymore. :)

  2. That dress looks great on you! What a fantastic color too!
