Bel Esprit Members Offer Contemporary, Innovative Style for Fall 2010

Bel Esprit, the online showroom for international designers of ethical fashion, announces its members’ fall collections. Ethical fashion continues to move forward challenging the industry to follow principles that respect the planet without sacrificing the art of fashion.

New York, NY, March 12, 2010 --(PR.com)-- London designer Emesha continues her modern imprint with her rocker-edged fall collection. Known for her precision construction, Emesha moves from the spring sport set to the fall rock star look, without losing softness and femininity.

Elena Garcia explores the opium dens of the 1920’s with her fall collection of rich colors, luxurious natural and organic fabrics. Her signature design twists transform simple silhouettes into breath-taking style by combining pieces and adjusting closures to reshape tops, dresses and shirts into a variety of looks.

German sportswear company room to roam takes their inspiration from the landscapes of Canada and creates new pieces for their fall collection. Although known for their streetwear style featuring reversible tops, hoodies, jackets and pants, room to roam adds new dress ideas that are fashion forward and stylish. Tucks, gathers and belts shape the dresses into interesting silhouettes. And returning again this season is the very popular “boyfriend jacket,” Scarlett in new prints and fabrics, a piece that will be a mainstay in every wardrobe for years.

Miksani, always the fun and flirty collection for the young at heart, returns this fall with another collection of dresses and separates guaranteed to perk up a wardrobe. The dresses have enough of a “grown-up” touch to go to work, but are also perfect for after 5 happy hour and club events. Miksani takes their commitment reducing their carbon footprint very seriously, but they do it in style.

New to the showroom is PKD Spa, a collection of relaxed basics launched in 2009. The pieces work from office to casual dining, from spa to vacation resort. Made from natural and organic fabrics, PKD Spa brings a luxurious comfort and zen sense to every occasion. Coming soon is a more tailored group for fall, but with the same sense of relaxed luxury.

Van Markoviec never disappoints. Always fashion forward and impeccably constructed, the fall collection brings back the most popular and never out of style pieces the designer is known for. To expand their “no waste” mantra, Van Markoviec has added an array of beautiful flowers created from scrap fabric. The gorgeous accessories can be worn as hair accessories, bracelets, brooches and belts, adding a special touch to any outfit.

French collections Andes Made and Bluebretzel offer beautiful pieces for the upscale market. Andes Made creates organic (from farming through production) alpaca accessories that are hand- and machine-knitted in Peru in highly crafted and classic designs. Bluebretzel creates fair trade cashmere lounge wear and jogging suits perfect for those ski lodge evenings. Andes Made and Bluebretzel guarantee warmth and luxury for cold winter nights.

Indigenous Designs demonstrates its knitwear expertise in their fall collection. Also tapping the technical skill of fair trade knit production in Peru, Indigenous Designs uses different knit techniques to give each silhouette a special touch.

Boutique Ethique brings the collection’s trademark geometric folding and pleating to organic wool pieces that amaze with their intricate design and construction. New to the collection are silk jersey and silk velvet pieces crafted in the same pieced style, adding a sensual touch to the line.

L’Shandi creates day and cocktail dresses and separates from the bright, colorful fabrics of West Africa. The designer give a new look to the “little black dress,” transforming classic silhouettes into new looks with West African lace and batik fabrics. The collection will inspire any wallflower to step out on the dance floor.

Tammam is enhancing its collection with new pieces for fall. Brides, debutantes and fashionistas are transported to the glory days of Hollywood in this collection that fuses vintage ideas, precise tailoring and contemporary style together to create statement looks for every wardrobe. 100% organic and fair trade, Tammam is leading the fashion industry into the new horizon.
