On the RUNWAY: 2014 Redress Raleigh Eco-Fashion Show

Little Grey Line debuted its latest collection last night at the 2014 Redress Raleigh Eco-Fashion Show in downtown Raleigh, NC. 

The venue (Cobblestone Hall at historic City Market) was beautiful, and the packed crowd was extremely welcoming and supportive. 

Inspired by the geometry, structure, and color of kites, the collection featured 10 dresses made from repurposed button-down shirts. Each of the adorable (and brave) models carried handmade pinwheels which spun freely as they walked the runway one by one. 

Here is a sampling of photos from the show through the eyes of my enormously talented friend, architect, and photographer Susan Black Holt. Many thanks to her for her constant love and support.
 

If you'd like to see part of our runway show, here is a link to the runway video by Carl Tyer of Sound Images. We are so thankful for his talent, support, and willingness to share this video with us!

Look for another post soon of some pre-runway, behind the scenes photos.

Big News: Little Grey Line selected for Redress Raleigh 2014 Eco-Fashion Show

We are thrilled to announce that Little Grey Line will be one of the featured designers for the Redress Raleigh 2014 Eco-Fashion Show this summer!

Our latest collection will feature designs inspired by the geometry, color, and structural characteristics of kites. 

We look forward to sharing the entire process with you here!

"I see children as kites. You spend a lifetime to get them off the ground. You run with them until you're both breathless. They crash...you add a longer tail...you patch and comfort, adjust and teach. You watch them lifted by the wind and assure them that someday they will fly."  -Erma Bombeck

recent work (september/october 2013)

Things have been very busy these last few months for Little Grey Line.  Honestly, we can barely keep up with all of the orders but feel very blessed to have so many people interested in our work!

These images are a sampling of dresses which were created in the last month or so by transforming shirts that originally belonged to fathers, grandfathers, grandmothers, and uncles.  (And one of these dresses was made from a $2.00 find at the thrift store!)
