Lara Miller is a Chicago-based independent fashion designer who creates sustainable contemporary clothing inspired by her city's architecture and culture. Her clothes are made from eco-friendly fabrics like organic cotton, hand-loomed bamboo, hemp and vegan silk. Adding to the sustainability factor, most garments can be wrapped or flipped into a completely different look.
We love the variety of party dresses in her fall and holiday 2009 collections - there are many colors, shapes and styles to fit everyone's body type and personal tastes.
Lara Miller is available online at
laramiller.com and in more than 50 boutiques worldwide. Most items are priced between $50 and $250.
