Earth Day is celebrated every year on April 22 yet, as a fashionista, you can celebrate it whole year round by wearing sustainable fashion.
Designer and actress BreeLayne combines style and eco-friendliness with her eponymous line as she combines leather and luxury recycled fabrics with an exacting focus on detail in its debut collection of limited-edition pieces.
Inspired by vintage, travel and nature, BreeLayne wants to develop a brand offers a conscientious element to luxury fashion by environmentally responsible practices. Her vision prizes quality above quantity and a level of thoughtfulness as every item purchased will, in turn, have a tree planted.
For BreeLayne’s Spring collection, she derived her inspiration from the silhouettes of both the 1930’s and the 1940’s. The collection tells a story of a woman who is bold, yet refined, similar to the transition from the repression of the 1930’s to the post-war/depression era.
BreeLayne wanted to encapsulate the nuanced woman who is elegant and timeless. Each design graces the woman’s body in luxurious variations of silk: from twills, to chiffons to double-face charmeuse.
The movement of the fabrics played an instrumental role in illustrating the softness of a woman, the delicacy of the era and the importance of self-empowerment.
BreeLayne used monochromatic tones to represent the subdued voice of women of the era, while also giving women the opportunity to voice their individualism through classic glamour.
