What will the world look like in 20 or 30 years? Will peo­ple con­tin­ue to wear dis­pos­able cloth­ing? (The aver­age life span of a gar­ment is 3 years.) Will fast fash­ion com­pa­nies exist? Will the fash­ion indus­try con­tin­ue to be the #2 pol­luter in the world? These are the ques­tions being asked in the fash­ion indus­try right now. Not only are fash­ion com­pa­nies wast­ing mil­lions of pounds of unsold gar­ments...

Burdastyle Charcoal Wool and Navy Leather Winter Coat

Charcoal Wool and navy leather 1 2011 126 Burdastyle sewing pattern winter coat

 Last Octo­ber, I made a navy cash­mere and leather coat for one of my dear­est friends. I would not call it a suc­cess. Since this first coat did not turn out as I had hoped, I sim­ply had to design a new ver­sion of the win­ter coat! The new coat was first going to be an orig­i­nal and mod­ern twist on a par­tic­u­lar vin­tage style. (I’m being vague in my descrip­tion because...

Plaid Women's Wool Coat

MISSION Our mis­sion is to make the world more beau­ti­ful. More than an ide­al, it is also very prac­ti­cal. When it comes to shar­ing life and all that it holds, we are on the same team. The throw­away men­tal­i­ty of a fast-fash­ion cul­ture is not sus­tain­able. Nor is it desir­able. Geor­gio Armani once said, “The dif­fer­ence between fash­ion and style is qual­i­ty.” Good qual­i­ty lasts and is there­fore always in style, because it...
