Christine Mayer

Today's favorite find is German designer Christine Mayer. She is a costume and fashion designer. For her clothing lines she looks for vintage fabrics that carry some of their history, and she remakes them into modern pieces with echoes of the past. 
"My passion is the constant quest for fabrics, which carry a breath of the past" Christine Mayer

 
 


Christine Mayer's winter collection 2012/13 is made completely from of SeaCell which consists of a hundred percent seaweed.  The line has the same vintage fabric look of her previous collections but this time is completely made from an innovative cutting edge fabric.





 She also has some great menswear and denim looks that I was not able to get off her Adobe Flash site.  Do by all means visit her site for more goodness.

  1. did you say "seaweed?" you gonna need to give me a little more detail on that one, cuz I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around it.

  2. Click on the "SeaCell" link above for more info. They tout a lot of health benefits. I don't know how significant the benefits of having a natural fabric with some beneficial chemicals near your skin really are, but lyocell is a much more sustainable fabric than most of what you'd find in a store....
