It's been 15 years! My girl Stephanie and I talk Discovery, EJH Band, and other 1.5 decade worthy material.
Joshua Kachter & I enjoy the amazement that is Vinny's Pizza. My vegan hamburger helper slice, oh how I adore thee!
Oh New York how you tempt me! Stop being so fantastic, darn it.

hi!
with my amazing parents!
ditto for my Nate.
Pssst!! Couture vegan dresses from simple (like mine) to intensive can be designed just for your wedding, gala, protest or potluck on special request and constructed by my couture team, just ask! Mine features work by Julianna Luther and handpainting by Japan transplant Cecca Morrone.
PPS- all images by Paul Colliton, except the last one, by Jun Lee.
After my first season’s limited launch (where I focused on my dream coat- the first chic & warm vegan winter coat) I spent this year preparing a few other winter pieces who turned up missing- men’s dress coats, urban chic crazy warm down alternative coats, vegan gloves, and luxe eco/vegan knits. Again, Photos by Jun Lee, origami headpieces by Laura Morrish, Men’s Origami Ties by Kogure Sachiko, Shoes by Cri de Coeur, and Jewelry by Objets D’envy. Hope you like too! xoxo

Eee! That’s the sound of happy I made when everything started to come together for our NYC Fashion Week Debut this Monday at the Green Shows! Inspired by Audrey & Origami, we’ve been developing the new styles since August. The line will be available for sale next Fall (and preorders this spring/summer), and is going to be produced in pretty pinks, browns, and fire engine red, but since my fabrics are custom made for production, color had to be left up to the accessories for the show… so I had lots of fun collaborating and showing off some of my favorite artists! Handcrafted jewelry by Objets D’envy, Shoes by Cri de Coeur, Origami headpieces by Laura Morrish, and Origami men’s ties from Kogure Sachiko.
Check out the pics by Jun Lee. Hope you like! Fingers crossed.
To find out when they become available for preorder, sign up for our newsletter at VauteCouture.com in the “Stay in the Loop” box. Will post pics for Men’s, Urban Snow Coats (Down Alternative), and Accessories next!
Love, laughs, and a bit of travel exhaustion. That might best categorize my first mini-tour for Vaute Couture! Stopping in DC (Busboys & Poets), Boston (Peace o’Pie) and NYC (group vegan sale with Cri de Coeur & Olsen Haus) last week, after a little eco luxe group sale in my hometown (with Mountains of the Moon, Objets d’Envy, and Lara Miller) meant lots of driving, quick as I can pitstops, new faces, and new faces to familiar names (my favorite!) <3 It was so amazing seeing everyone in person- thank you a million times for coming out!
Looking forward to the West Coast next. xoxo
