What does sustainability look like for Karen Stewart and Howard Brown of Stewart + Brown? The strategies are as varied as the goods from this early-adopter green brand including easy knitwear, dresses, separates, accessories made from organic and renewable fabrics, as well as textile overstock, Mongolian cashmere, Merino wool. Stewart + Brown are explicit about the fabric choices they make, generously offering info on the why’s of a particular choice on their website. Most importantly, though, they employ these fabrics designing beautiful, and often beautifully detailed, laidback clothes.
Stewart + Brown, Portland Fashion Week Night Three, Sunday October 21. Doors at 6, show around 8 PM. Tickets available at the Portland Fashion Week website and at the door.
