Leanimal's Spring Collection
Leanimal is a new clothing line by Leanne Marshall, a fashion designer based in Portland, OR who studied fashion at FIDM in San Francisco. She started her love of fashion design at a young age of 12 where she started by designing her own ballet costumes. Her Spring line premiered Portland Fashion Week. The theme this Spring is "Haphazard Origami" which figures delicate folds in fabrics and creative angles. Pictured above is the Sweet Dress and the Origami Frock below. Marshall uses hemp, bamboo, organic cottons, and other eco-friendly materials as much as possible in her work. I love how the dresses have a stylish flair and are still very flattering to the body. You can see more of her fashions and past collections on the Leanimal web site and order some of her pieces in her shop.
Have been watching you on Bravo nice to see a home town girl go big time. I sewed your valace in your bedroom years ago. You have always been so creative in so many aspects of your life

These items are beautiful. I love the oragami folds that add interest to pieces. I have two pieces...a top by Generra with the folds around the neck and a Mint dress both from shopgoldyn.com. I may have to pick up Leanimal.
