British designer Debbi Little has teamed up with British textiles company AO Textiles to create a sustainable sheath dress with a matching clutch purse.
AO Textiles is famous for the fabric which is calls “ecouture.” The company takes parachute netting discarded by the Ministry of Defense, and gives it a runway ready makeover by sewing on organic silk remnants.
The Debbi Little and AO Textiles collaboration is cutely known as Little AO. However there’s nothing small about this two-piece set. The dress and matching clutch purse are an intriguing mix of fashionable whimsy and an earthy concern for the planet. I love the mix of greens and neutral tones; I just hope the designers have used vegetable dyes or some other eco-friendly alternative!
Those nitty gritty details are a bit thin on the ground at the moment. The AO Textiles website says its AO with Debbi Little page is under construction. So right now we’re left gawking at the pictures and speculating on when these green fashion items will hit stores, and how much they’ll cost.
How much would you expect to pay for this eco-friendly dress and its matching clutch? And would you be prepared to spend a little more for their green credentials?
