*About Lara Miller Spring 2010*
Silhouettes reference springtime in the city, when nature hits the buildings with a smile, suggesting that bondage and hugs are equally sexy after all.
Crafted locally from certified organic cotton, hand-loomed wild-harvested bamboo, raw silk organza and recycled cotton fibers. Sundry shades of blues, creams, and iron with a pop of burnt mauve come to life in sculptural layers of knitted strings, sheer fabrics, and meshed yarn. Shoes generously provided by Cri de Coeur. www.cri-de-coeur.com
