What do you get when you combine two friends, an eye for impeccable design, a stint as a fashion features editor at Nylon, and a background on sustainability? Bodkin. Designer Samantha Pleet and writer Eviana Hartman brought their vast interests together seamlessly for the fashion-forward, Brooklyn-based collection, but as Hartman says, it is the whole process - sourcing the materials and knowing where they come from - that defines them as a socially conscious label. And while they're both passionate about this cause, they try not to let it overwhelm their design philosophy. Pleet's signature fairytale-esque style adds a bit of lighthearted flair to the sleek, streamlined collection, giving it a playfulness many other sustainability-focused labels lack. The color palette is limited to black and cream, but this lends a level of sophistication also missing from most eco-friendly fashion. Click my SLIDESHOW to see what Bodkin's all about!
