Go Eco and Off-the-Shoulder

We show off a lot of ecoSkin fashion around EcoSalon because well, we like their style. And now they’ve captured the latest fashion forward off-the-shoulder trend with the Mercury Top.

Somehow ecoSkin has found a flattering way to recreate this look from the flamboyant days of Flashdance. Frankly, I’m shocked. But even I might consider wearing this easy-going and slightly sexy piece made of bamboo and tencel. It looks comfortable and would be perfectly paired with skinny jeans or a slim denim skirt. …

The Reconstructed Tee

Born in Taiwan and raised both there and in the San Francisco Bay Area, Ann Chen possesses an East meets West design sensibility. She subscribes to vintage conceptualization cast into modern idealism, using only sustainable, eco-friendly, and cruelty-free materials. Torn up, crossed, twisted, and reconstructed, Ann has created a simple t-shirt collection that packs a lot of punch. Clearly influenced by Asian street style, her line is also reminiscent of 80s America – truly a cross of disparate tastes.

If Ann Chen piques your fashion interest, you can snatch up her unique …

Get in Touch with Your…Wait, What Side Am I Getting in Touch with Again?

Feminine masculine, masculine feminine – in these days of gender fluidity, anything goes. Flirt with florals one day and dominate with stark, bold colors the next. Menswear inspires runways in cycles (in my calculation, about every other season or so) and it happens to be very much in vogue at the moment. Suspenders, high-waisted, wide-leg, expertly tailored button downs – can you swing it?  

If you’re new to the gender-bending scene, you may want to attempt this in phases. Start with a sexy, starched shirt and build up to adding suspenders the next time …

Eco-Trendy Tees at Sublet

I’m not one to clutter my closet with the latest trends – my fashion focus is more about quality than quantity. But when I see a sexy tee the likes of which has graced the cover of one or two fashion mags, I don’t shy away. Mostly because I wear my tees until they’re torn and tattered, and then I wear them some more”¦as workout tops. Next they head for the scrap heap to be used as cleaning rags. My tees get plenty of use, so I don’t feel badly about stocking up on a few …

Two Tees for All Seasons


I know we talk endlessly about tees at EcoSalon, but there’s always a new design popping up that catches my eye. And even in the winter months, a short-sleeve tee worn over a thin long-sleeve tee is perfectly stylish and appropriate. I recently found two tees that are on my to-buy list for fall.

The first is this Bauhaus Printed T-Shirt by Mociun (shown at top), a Brooklyn based fashion house led by Caitlin Mociun, “a trendsetter to be watched”. It has a sexy scoop neck and a modern black, red and …
