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!
I’m sure with the snow flying, LA transplants Michael & Bianca Alexander are wondering why they’ve moved into blizzard-ville but we are sure happy they did! Creators of the oh so fabulous Conscious Living TV, they interview, inspire, and create more for the conscious community. We’re so lucky to have them!
View one of their latest episodes above, to see the fashion show they not only covered but created and hosted- Vert Couture- Chicago’s first all green fashion show at Fashion Week, including Vaute Couture & other favorite Chicago & beyond eco-conscious labels (Mohop Shoes, Kaillia Footwear, Frei Designs, and Mountains of the Moon, to name a few!). I showed a few current FW09 outerwear pieces in conjunction with some couture looks handpainted and constructed from remnant fabrics from my 8 months of fabric research. (Yes, my very limited SS10 collection is still to be fully unveiled. shhh!) It also included yum vegan food from the Great Taste Cafe and eco-cocktails by Veev. You can see my picture post here.
