Trees at Night

Susan Cianciolo's Fall/Winter 2009 collection presentation was held last Sunday at the Tela Design Studio. This season Susan dazzled New York with an array of multifaceted, uniquely unusual, poetic and sustainable garments. Each piece is decidedly meant to be savored by the eyes and cherished by the wearer, as well as being very personal, with one-of-a-kind fabrics, drawings and hand-stitches interwoven into each piece. The ambiance at the Tela Design Studio was one of light-hearted airiness as well as being whimsical and dream-like. A pianist played tunes softly in the background while the models thoughtfully meandered in figure-eights as they contemplated their unfamiliar surroundings. Hung around the presentation room were drawings and artworks by the designer, which, together with the music and Susan Cianciolo-clad models, made for an exquisite juxtapostion of fashion and art conjoined into one space.

Dinner to Dye For

Sasha Duerr of the Permacouture Institute, and Bay Area Slow Food culinary artist Leif Hedendal of the Secret Cafe collaborated on a unique event highlighting the multiple uses of plants as a means of creating awareness about sustainable fashion and food. The event started with a class on natural fibers and dyes, and was then followed by an incredible meal that used many of the same natural ingredients.
