there wasn’t a call for them. I told them, ‘Well, I
am calling for it and I bet if you let designers know
the option is available, they will ask for it more and
more.’ Within a week, I heard back from one of
those suppliers and he said he took my advice and
was receiving lots of call for organic fabrics ever
since he got the word out. I really believe designers
and their clients want to do ‘the right thing;’ they
just don’t know what is possible.”
One look at Deborah’s designs and you will
see that getting those possibilities from paper
to hanger is her specialty. Her cashmere sweaters
have an almost cult-following amongst celebri-
ties—Sharon Stone, Christina Aguilera, Ri-
hanna, and more. Her current ‘Goth Girl Goes
to the Country’ line reflects her rural roots and
New York sass. You can’t help but find yourself
immersed in the eco-sexy sense of it all. And
that is exactly what Deborah wants a woman to
feel and celebrate: a blend of edgy meets femme.
In 2010, Deborah hopes to expand her line to
encapsulate her whole-life philosophy as it
relates to eco-awareness.
“It’s not just about deciding to buy an
organic tee, although, that is a start for many
consumers who are new to eco-fashion. How-
ever, I want to create designs that educate
and invite people into what the term eco-
conscious really means, and has to be, in
order to be meaningful and effective. It has
to be a lifestyle, not just a single, isolated
choice. It is a mindset.”
