This holiday season, impress your friends with inexpensive and fair trade designs by emerging independent fashion designers. It's not haute couture (designed just for you), but it's the next closest thing! Besides, it's way more affordable and also supports an amazing fashion concept. Buying
independent means the items are not mass-produced, and range from production quantities of sometimes twenty to one hundred pieces made for each style. These independent designers like to keep their collections fresh and current, recycling old styles and moving forward each season. Doesn't the idea of showing up at a party only to find another guest has already arrived wearing your same dress sound so embarrassing? We've put together a quick gallery of our favorite holiday dresses made exclusively by independent fashion designers so you can be sure this won't happen to you.
