I discovered a new label this week- Bodkin. It is a Brooklyn enviormentally-friendly label. The Bodkin collections can be summed up in 2 words: architectural and modern. Each piece is manufactured in the U.S. and mindfully sourced with such materials as organic cotton, organic wool, artisanal dyes, recycled polyester, closed-loop cellulosic fibers, and deadstock fabric. I was attracted to the clothes because of the sensuous materials and the structured aesthetics.

I love this grey dress and the knee-high ruched boots. Bodkin was named the inaugural recipient of the Ecco Domani Sustainable Design Award in 2009. I am delighted by the entire A/W 2009 wearable collection. The garments will transcend seasons as the designs are so modern and the clothes are also good for the earth. Now I just need to find who stocks Bodkin in Melbourne…
