|  The Bite
Hunting for some hip new clothes that’ll make you look almost famous? Wrap ’n’ roll one of local talent Lara Miller’s modular, chic designs around your bad self. Made from eco-friendly fibers such as hemp and supersoft bamboo (a rapidly renewable resource that naturally wicks moisture, resists odor, and protects against UV rays), you can wear her versatile, high-end sweaters, dresses, and tops in tons of different ways. For a Behind the Music-type look at Lara’s work, check out the Jun. 10 episode of Big Ideas for a Small Planet, the Sundance Channel’s series on green innovation (or meet the lady herself this Fri. at Pivot's early screening party/trunk show). Meanwhile, we’ll keep gushing like groupies about the Sylvia blouse (see photo). |
