Still can't decide if these are creepy or awesome

Nau's menswear.

 From Ecouterre: "Nau’s vision of sustainable apparel is one that does not compromise, and it shows in the attention and research the label applies to all its clothing. These products are not just well-sourced and well-designed, but they also have utilitarian simplicity in mind. Nau knows that the more useful a piece of clothing is, the longer you will keep it, and it makes its clothes to fit that philosophy. The down winter jackets, for instance, feature different stitching patterns that are designed to help you retain heat in the most crucial parts of the body—very smart.

If you love a shirt so much that
you’ll wear it for 30 years,
that’s pretty darn sustainable.

Also impressive is Nau’s selection of jeans and pants in eight different cuts and styles, including straight-cut, tapered, and relaxed-fit. You can finish off any look with Nau’s sustainably made bags, belts, and wallets. Bonus: Nau donates 2 percent of your order to a charity of your choice." more

Mr. Larkin's Spring/Summer 2010 collection

Although the post at ecouterre.com claims several times that Mr. Larkin's Spring/Summer 2010 collection is innovative, I might actually claim that it's the opposite. Larkin lets the old influence her fashion-forward looks creating garments that are coture, but flattering and wearable at the same time. Her use of all-natural materials for production purposes is refreshingly ancient, as well. Larkin's beautiful dye jobs are done with  old practices in mind; berries, mint and iron are some of the all-natural ingredients used for pigment.
