Indie Fashion

Posted Wednesday, May 24, 2006 at 11:23AM

I’ve not really a problem with the McFashion of the world, but it’s always fresh to see truly independent designers, as much for their aesthetic as knowing their moving, growing, supporting themselves financially.

When I wrote for Trunkt, it seemed they were some of the first to realize the appeal of independent designers as an alternative to mass marketed, everyone and their mother materialism, as an “alternative” and not simply “alternative.”

I run a site that partners with independent up-and-coming designers. Take a look, and don't hesitate to send us suggestions. Thanks! http://www.alwaysurban.com

On the subject of indie fashion, I recently was told about a situation where a small indie company had one of their designs stolen by a web retailer. Check it out:

unique-vintage.com stole a dress design from small indie fashion company Trashydiva.com and is selling them as their own.

Definitely refreshing. As designers we just have to be careful not to fall into trend mode, and to continue cultivating our imagination!
