Everything's Coming Up Bodkin

RINGSIDE

Things looked swell and things looked great at the New York Horticultural Society last night where Bodkin, winner of Ecco Domani’s first sustainable design award, showed a collection of clothes so green that even the plants were a little, you know, envious.

Writer-turned-designer Eviana Hartman’s third collection came complete with woven fair trade silks and a malleable, mottled, far-out-feeling cotton fabric made with something called kapok (vegetable dyed by hand). But it’s not just about the textiles (like domestically produced organic merino wool). The Brooklyn-based label is known for desired downtown silhouettes and cool-girl cuts: slouchy, cinch-waist anoraks; high-rise black miniskirts; and skinny, stretchy catsuits.

Sounds pretty rosy.
