Since ‘The Secret Lives of Our Clothes’ video, the environmental impact of the textile industry has been one of our key concerns, particularly here in China where it accounts for a major part of the country’s exports. We stumbled upon and were inspired by concept shop, ecovogue365, and their mission to create convertible apparel (think less fashion more options) to lesson every fashion maven’s ecological footprint. We spoke with co-founder, Jerah Coviello, to find out what sparked the passion for ‘slow fashion’.

Meet our very first intern, KATE DANIEL! We are thrilled to see how far our reach goes. Kate found us online from her Masters Program in Apparel Design. What drew us together was Kate’s thesis that focused exclusively on convertible eco designs & her love for travel. We couldn’t see a better match for her to join our design team. She will be with us until mid August when she takes leave to another internship in Paris. Kate will be working on an exclusive convertible design for ecovogue365 that has something to do with BATS as well as helping us launch our carry on couture Kickstarter grant! All coming soon. We are excited to give Kate the run through on what it takes to run your own fashion line. Meet Kate below:

Hi! My name is Mary Kathryn Daniel, but I go by Kate! I’m a 24 year old gal from southern Arkansas. I have a Bachelor’s degree from the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville, GO HOGS, with a major in apparel studies and a minor in marketing. I graduated this past May from Louisiana State University with a Master’s degree in Apparel Design. My thesis at LSU focused on eco-friendly, reversible dress designs.

Although fashion is my first love, I have lots of other interests that keep me busy in everyday life. I really enjoy travelling. I’ve been lots of great places in the U.S. and some awesome places in Europe. All of my travels have been extremely inspirational! I also love to hike and hang out on rivers and lakes! I like to consider myself an amateur photographer, as well as a model when my friends need someone whose about six feet!

My goal as a fashion designer is to make less of an impact on the planet. I want to help create innovative designs that are made from eco-friendly fabrics in addition to creating a more versatile wardrobe for consumers.

And, what if you did it in style while having fun and making new friends. You can, in a well organized Clothing Swap. Swapping is the new shopping for Millenials who want to look fashion fresh without breaking the bank.

What’s your Fetish? Ours is Convertible Fashion.

Oh yeah we took it there. We collaborated with our local talent to create FETISH, a digital book by up and coming young photographer, Morgann Klooster.
Morgann worked with our brand for her Senior Fall Semester and designed the entire concept of this book from start to finish. After you check out Morgann’s amazing work on her website, order the FETISH book right here. This photoshoot was inspired by the convertible lifestyle.

Our fav local hairdresser D. Cole Hair Design, took Jerah’s hair a step further and made it as convertible as our B. Here you see one dress, one hair style, with many ways to wear. Special thanks to Jacqueline Ann for the bang up makeup and jewelry by The Jewelry Fountain.

Luv Yourself and You Will Luv Your Fashion.

It’s not complicated

Like your daily beauty routine

It just takes practice. If you are frustrated by your wardrobe, then let us let you in on a little secret.

You are still going to be frustrated by your wardrobe unless (THIS IS BIG)
#1. you luv yourself
#2. you take some time to get intimate with your closet

Ladies, you have to fall in luv with all of you. The little sags, the quirky shapes, the tones of your skin, your silhouette, all of you. Because, once you do, you will be amazed at how you start focusing on the beautiful little things about you. From there, you dress up those beautiful things. You begin to understand what looks good on you. Which leads you to pick out your style, that then leads to a seemless stress free shopping experience. You buy what works for you and what accentuates your most beautiful you. You receive the compliments, you start to feel good about yourself, and repeat. By this point you will enjoy reading a fashion mag or two, vetting out a trend or two that you would like to wear this season.

And most importantly, you will find yourself becoming a great curator of this thing we call a closet. That is really a holding cell, a vault, an art bank for the next show on your body. It becomes fun, you don’t just buy to stuff your closet full, you select which item has the privilege to be part of your wardrobe. When you see all those fashionista’s running about town, in the mags, on the blogs, this is the mental place they are at. And you thought fashion was frivolous. Fashion is a reflection of our mental state of mind.

Take some time to get intimate with yourself and your closet with these steps.

#1 tell yourself what part of your body you luv today, and repeat the next
#2 Discover your body shape and how to dress for it over on Elsa Isaac’s Blog
#3 Book a stylist and be amazed at how they can up your fashion game. Our local favorite is Stina Michiels of Urban Eco Beauty.
#4 Do us a BIG favor and find out your true bra size at your local deparment store. Over 80% wear the wrong size. (not joking). See how this makes a huge difference.
#4 HSN just launched their Dress Shop so you can shop by your body shape, silhouette and event.
#5 Own a good pair of jeans that fit your behind well, Own a crisp white tank, tee, and long sleeve, and Own a B. All wardrobe staples that take you from classic to dressy.

We even make crib sheets on how to wear your B.’s. You don’t know it yet, but the B design flatters any woman’s body. We wish we could put it on you right now. The design is created to give illusions. For those who are well endowed it hides the big and shapes the bust. For those who are small on top and heavy on the bottom, this design gives you what you need at the top and takes away at the bottom. We know a woman’s pain point is her stomach so we created an Obi, a wide belt, that you can secure around your mid area to suck in, synch, and scrunch it into the shape you are looking for while shaping you in your B.

Shop our B and B. Wild Flower.
