I love a unique piece of outerwear and swedish designer Camilla Wellton knows how a standout coat should look. The fall/winter 2009 capsule collection of black wool coats and jackets gained a great deal of interest on her Stockholm-based prêt-á-porter/eco couture/ made to measure label.

While browsing for interesting crafters I stumbled upon Joodito, a young self-taught designer from Boston. She makes one-of-a-kind clothes, tops, so far, (sweatshirts, tees, tunics) from salvaged and recycled materials constructed in free style, by organic, experimental methods.

Loudermilk Organic Denim

Didn't think organic clothing can look this great? (I admit I didn't) Well, think again. Linda Loudermilk defines Luxury Eco: edgy, playful, hyper-cool, well tailored clothes created from own-developed sustainable fabrics and by fair labor standards. Luxury Eco movement doesn't sacrifice style: "The Loudermilk line is all about refinement - polished, put-together looks that happen to be made from sustainable fabrics and that don't just happen to have that raw and rough around the edges something that make them modern."
