Some goodbyes are painful. Others are a joyous occasion as we relinquish the past and embrace the future. For designer John Patrick, "the future is now" as we bid a joyous adieu to "Robofashion" - his term for cookie-cutter styles.

John Patrick aims to replace excess with excellence through his sustainable modern designs. He's here to remind us that "luxury isn't about stuff, it's about integrity".

From the organic cotton fields in Peru to his innovative sourcing of dress shirts from recycled bed sheets, John Patrick's vision transcends the popularity of eco-fashion and merges with a deeper sense of business integrity. He is an alchemist of fashion, utilizing the most natural, low-impact dyes from the earth, revamping discarded materials and transforming the future of your wardrobe.

This 100% organic cotton tank-dress, for example, is one of the easiest trends of the season in gray, yet its classic shape is bound to sustain your look for years to come.
