One of our favorite design partnerships – the Uniform Project – has invited our Co-founder, Summer Rayne Oakes to sport her own Little Black Dress (LBD) for the month of March. The dress was expertly designed by Terri and Cassandra Rosenthal of Carasan Designs using all Source4Style-sourced materials, including a black 70% silk charmeuse – 30% hemp blend, hand-woven Thai silk and 55% hemp-45% organic cotton plain weave.
Every month the Uniform Project releases a new pilot and a new Little Black Dress that will later be sold after the monthly pilot is completed.
“Source4Style has been an invaluable tool in sourcing sustainable fabrics to create The Uniform Project’s diverse range of Little Black Dresses,” says Tara St. James, resident designer at UP. “Each dress requires a unique fabrication appropriate to its design. We would not have been exposed to the wide range of textiles previously unavailable to us if not for the platform offered by Source4Style.”
100% of public donations raised at the Uniform Project will go to charity: water, an organization bringing clean and safe drinking water to people in developing nations. Payless ShoeSource has agreed to match funds dollar-for-dollar up to $10,000 on the site.
