Sketches from Leanne Marshall's upcoming eco-chic line for Bluefly
Leanne dropped by Bluefly on Monday to show us samples of her line and share this message with everyone who can't wait to shop the Project Runway winner's exclusive Bluefly collection:
ON CREATING HER BLUEFLY COLLECTION
"I've been working hard on getting the samples produced for the collection and making sure that everything really goes together well; and getting the fit right... I wish it were out today. I wish I could just sew so fast and get it out there immediately, but you, know, good things come to those who wait."
ON HER COMMITMENT TO SUSTAINABLE FASHION
"[All the pieces in the collection are] eco-friendly except for the gown. It takes a lot to source [sustainable] fabrics... just getting these textiles, and then getting them in the right colors that I wanted -- but it was really important for me to make [this collection] as sustainable as it could be... Almost everything is a natural fiber. There are bamboos, there's a linen, and a tensile... the dying method [is earth-responsible too]."
ON BRAVO'S THE FASHION SHOW AND PROJECT RUNWAY'S MOVE TO LIFETIME
"I think there are going to be about a thousand fashion shows hitting the air. I'm just so thankful that I had the opportunity to do Project Runway and was able to get my name out there. Hopefully other designers have a good experience with it too."
“It's any designer's dream come true to have a store on a main street, whether it's here, in Paris on Faubourg or Avenue Montaigne, or on London's Bond Street.”
