A few days ago Shaun & Prof. Rodemer both sent me an e-mail about a lecture at Taubman College of Architecture about Linda Loudermilk, coined by W Magazine as one of the top 20 innovators to watch. She's considered to be a visionary couture and eco-designer and her claim to fame is her becoming the first designer to create luxury, eco-lifestyle fashion. All her clothes are made from sustainable fabrics that she herself researched and developed. She targets luxury consumers and her mission is to inspire change within ourselves as consumers.
Her textiles are woven from natural sources like bamboo, Seaweed, Corn, etc. She collaborates with scientists and companies that create fibers without pesticides or other toxic processes and leverages manufacturers that do not poison the water supply.
I'm excited to attend her lecture today and will report back on the experience. For anyone that reads this and would like to come, the lecture's at 6:30 at A+A auditorium.
