DESIGNER TO KNOW: LEAF

I can’t get enough of organic and sustainable clothing, especially when they look as luxe and hip as designers Debra Kellner and Marie-Helene Gautier’s new line, Leaf. Based in Montreuil, France, the duo sources materials from small cotton fields in India, proving again that you can produce aesthetically pleasing garments while sticking to ecologically sound practices. The collection consists of urban basics such as jersey harem pants, menswear-inspired vests, wide-leg trousers, and swathy, oversized button-downs that are earthy, yet très à la mode. Parisian hipsters and fashionistas alike are taking notice, with the collection being carried at fashion enclaves such as Le Bon Marche in Paris, Liberty in London, and Flying A in NYC.
