It's festival season! This Denver designer gives some inspiration for sustainable looks.
A festival-goer and designer who sells her clothes by vending at festivals, Ashwood says she tries to do her market research and keep up with what's happening in all areas of fashion, from high-end designers to celebrity fashion to festival wear. She sees festival fashion currently experiencing a 1990s revival."It's kind of weaning away from the tribal stuff and bumping up the glamour while still being comfortable," she explains.
"My mother is a hat maker and my grandmother is a seamstress. They worked with small theater companies," Ashwood says."So it’s kind of an inherited skill for me. I have a background in theater, and I saw how much fashion waste there was — all of the cut scraps and these gorgeous expensive ball gowns that were highly uncomfortable. I wanted to empower people to be comfortable, confident and inspired to feel their full selves.
"There's a lot of versatility in my clothes," she says."They are fun to move in. They can be dancing in crowds. They double as swimwear. They can be worn at a resort or a bridal shower with your girlfriends. It has a sexy, cozy comfort, but it's still a high-class couture item. You won't want to throw it away, because it can be worn five different ways and it still accommodates you even if your body size changes.
