Don't Cry Over Spilled Milk; Wear It!

Got milk? Oslo-based FIN does. The “eco lux” fashion label has added milk-based fabrics to its toolbox of organic, environmentally-friendly textiles. Produced from surplus milk proteins, the fabric debuts in FIN’s spring/summer 2010 collection, a graceful assortment of flowing dresses, breezy separates, and urban-minded outerwear inspired by disarrayed pleats and parachutes. Pieces such as a dolman-sleeved gray jumpsuit and draped short dresses in a pavement palette are reminiscent of BCBG Max Azria’s spring 2009 runway collection but are made fresh in fabrics such as organic bamboo satin and “wild non-violent silk” and according to the company’s rigorous fair trade standards.
