This season, The Battalion showcases next generation, future forward fashion, inspired by landscape, the desert, and a wolf, all that tell a “road trip story discovering the American West with an old road atlas.”
Designer Linda Wong graduated from Otis College with a fashion degree and established The Battalion with her sister in 2006. This eco-friendly label uses veggie furs that reflect the landscape of the desert with colors like camel, grey and ivory. Simple but original, modern and edgy at the same time, The Battalion specializes in knits and woven fabrics to create a comfort-driven line for women.
The materials used by this brand are primarily bamboo, organic cotton, recycled polyester, promodal and some cruelty free “peace” silk, proving that fashion is not restricted by materials and textures, but it can be eco friendly and stunning as well. The staples for this Autumn/Winter collection are fur trimmed hooded blazers, cardigans, wraps, all oversized with form-fitting short skirts and skinny pants. How I love this look! I am noticing that there are so many eco friendly fashion brands out there emerging, and it is an inspiration for a modern way of thinking, forces designers to get more creative, and it is a great step for fashion.
