Sure, you can order one of her custom-made wedding dresses, made from eco friendly materials. You could also order a special occasion outfit that would be perfect for the red (or green!) carpet. But designer Deborah Lindquist does so much besides!

One of LA’s most sought after environmentally conscious couture designers, Lindquist also creates everyday apparel, accessories, and home wear from recycled, sustainable, and organic fabrics. We adore her featherlight maxi skirts made from retired parachutes (pictured below), for example.

She has created outstanding outfits for many celebrities, including Sharon Stone, Pink, Jessica Alba, Christina Aguilera, Rihanna, and many others.

Trained at Parsons School of Design, the designer launched her eco clothing line in 1989 in Los Angeles. Vintage fabrics formed the basis of her work back then, but of course today, Deborah’s collections remain as eco-conscious – if not, more so.
