Institute of Dress is an insanely brilliant clothing line by my dear friend Abby Lutz.  Each piece is superbly crafted, fashion forward and completely wearable.  When I talk about investing in heirlooms-to-be… this is what I’m talking about.  Risky without nearing ridiculous and made thoughtfully in Japan and and Vermont, Institute of Dress is one of the few non-”eco” lines (their fabrics aren’t terribly sustainable) I endorse.  But now it gets even better…

 Abby has approached me with a very exciting proposal… Institute of Dress is going to do an exclusive, abbreviated run of styles solely for Green with Glamour this Fall in all organic materials.  Ladies, get ready!

At the International Design Awards – where Institute of Dress won best in Pret-a-Porter, Abby is flanked by Popomomo designer, Lizz Wasserman (left) & little old me – wearing an Institute of Dress creation (right).
