Green Chic #4

Burning Torch

Hey guys, you know I am on the lookout for all things Green. In a world where it's so easy to obsessively buy designer lines from Target (ahem), I gotta keep my eye out for the little people who are trying to do it right. Designer Karyn Craven started Burning Torch in 1999 in Los Angeles. She is devoted to eco-responsibility, using recycled vintage materials and organic products.

I definitely prefer her fall/winter 2008 line to her summer 2008...but then, I feel in fashion, there is always more room for exploration in layering in the colder months. I love to see her sensibility in texture...from fabrics to patters, there is always a coziness to her pieces. It's a very victorian girly aesthetic a la Anthropologie....Altho, she is much higher end, having graced the floors of Barneys NY.
