Sustainable designer, Nicole Bridger reflects back to the roots of functionality and comfort for her fw09 collection, highlighted by the oversized shapes which took on a refreshing new silhouette.

Nicole’s signature loose and casual cuts like those found in her “must have” billowy dresses signify the modern and simplistic sustainable vision of the designer.

Some of her key pieces for the season include; the Today Tunic; a day dress with slouchy pockets and a menswear inspired tailored sleeve. It’s the perfect take on luxe athletic for the fall. The silhouette is cinched by a drawstring waistline and comes in navy, sage, and black and it’s also produced in organic supima cotton woven in Portugal.

Simple pieces make layering easy for the fall season, from warm wool modern cardigans and vests to casual organic tees and smart button down blouses.

Bridger continues to elevate the fashion world by finding the beauty all around us while using pure elements found in nature. We talked to Nicole about her designs and she said, “Every season I get my inspiration from life lessons that I am learning at the time. When I started designing this season my husband and I were newly pregnant and looking at how to restructure our lives in order to prepare for the new addition to our family. Becoming pregnant I was able to quickly and easily decide what was positive in my life and what I could let go of. I was able to focus myself, my business, my relationships, and my home all in preparation for our baby. It was all about putting things into perspective.”

Nicole Bridger’s entire collection is made of sustainable organic fabrics and manufactured ethically, affirming that you are contributing to the earth in a positive way.
