Designing with careful consideration of social and environmental impact, new label Carrie Parry is produced ethically, right here in New York City in the Fashion District. Her pieces include organic wool that is hand spun by a cooperative of 80 artisan women in India, 
recycled polyester and eco-friendly fabric made from tree pulp, with printing done in San Francisco.
Look, there are plenty of fair trade, organic clothing companies out there. But this one has set itself apart in my mind, because it is wearable. Carrie Parry has burst on the scene with separates and dresses that you can wear to the office, to a first date with that hot lawyer, on a night out with your girlfriends, or all three. I caught up with Carrie at the Capsule show last weekend, and studied the stitching and construction, fingering the fabrics as she spoke to me about what she is trying to do. The quality of the garments is impeccable – this is no Etsy seamstress. The price point reflects the quality of that construction; these are investment pieces for sure.
How about this rarity – something eco-friendly that you can wear to work at the high-powered office:
It 100% silk, handwoven shirt also comes in grey/purple, and black/white.
This outfit will most certainly get you a raise at the law firm:
And for your hot date:
This 100% organic wool jersey dress also comes in olive green and black. I suspect the black would be a good office wear stable as well, especially since the bow is detachable.
This outfit says, “Don’t mess with me, I’m an important person.”:
The bow is detachable on this one as well.
For a younger, everyday skirt that you can mix and match with the rest of your wardrobe for a cute date look, when you’re going shopping, or the office, here’s a winner:
I like this dress for an easy night out look that is classy yet sexy:
How about a brunch dress? The color blocking on this one is so right now – it just needs a pair of strappy leather sandals:
It’s made from a recycled polyester/spandex jersey.
And finally an olive green shirt dress with an edgy yet sophisticated look:
It’s 100% Tencel, which is made from the natural cellulose found in wood pulp. It also comes in grey, black, and white.
So I know you might be wondering where you can pick up these pieces. Well, this is just the fall preview, so you’ll have to wait a bit. Come fall, you can order the pieces online at her site, and I will update you with what New York boutiques stock the line!
What do you think? Would you wear these pieces?
