It takes a tough and durable, to make a corset - one of the sexiest underwear and loved by Italian women - environmentally friendly and attentive, in the production environment. This is the idea of Rachel Reichert, one of the few fashion designers have always done his job in the optical environment. A true white fly, if we think that the lingerie industry is huge (more than $ 25 billion in annual revenue), but dominated by petroleum products and imbued with the competition of the Chinese black market.
As in many areas of eco-fashion, however, the first attempts to make underwear "green" have produced a final result with little appeal. But recently things are changing. Reichert, in fact, argues that his collection will be glamorous, and ethical. And, seeing the first picture, it is to believe. Rachel uses materials mostly organic or vintage, and most of the finishes are done by hand, he says.
She follows the entire process of realizing personally, and boasts that all work is done in his studio in Ithaca, New York. Organic cotton and raw silk are woven base, the rest is integrated with objects gathered in the streets and gathered in the disposal sites. Women Corsets, too, that as many women know they have an internal steel frame, is carefully made to "rest" the number of days just because the metal becomes elastic at the right point.
Reichert had previously explored the world of tape. Do not panic. The tape was the beginning of the year two thousand, one of the must haves of the world of international fashion. The designers, in fact, arguing the market to the sound of revolutionary inventions. From this experience, Rachel has experienced organic cotton carrying bags, or rubber from recycled tires Reprotek. But thanks to the success of a campaign Kickstarter - site that allows young entrepreneurs to finance itself with donations of their peers - has managed to move into sustainable fashion.
His 2011 collection of sexy corsets was made with the mix red / white (some items are available in her Etsy shop), and if you continue to find good financing, Rachel has already told us that in the future has in its plans to expand the range color in the vein of black and white.
