REDRESS RALEIGH 2012 RECAP VIDEO! 

Kendal Leonard

Re-inspired by a recent trip to Costa Rica, Kendal’s first wedding collection stems from “Pura Vida” notion of life; living simply, enjoying life, experiencing nature. The main aim of her collection, Amor Verde, is taking the fluff out of wedding design. Speaking both literally and figuratively, Amor Verde focuses on using sustainable materials and production techniques to create flattering and classic silhouettes using organic cotton fabrics, ribbons, cording and thread, peroxide bleaching, fiber-reactive dyes and recycled materials. The is to create a 100% sustainable garment that can be thrown in a compost-pile if need be!
