The Square Project
I don't often prosthelytize on CAG - oh wait, yes I do. Anyway, I came across this on the interweb and I think it's totally amazing and worthy of throwing a few dollars at.

Tara St. James is not just another designer trying to get to NY Fashion Week. She's a math nerd trying to get to fashion week...
The Square Project from Jesse Benjamin on Vimeo.
THE SQUARE PROJECT:
"My first collection will be study of shapes in relation to the human form, starting with the square. This collection will comprise of 9 styles (a square number, of course), offered in 2 colors each. Each style will be sewn, folded, shaped and manipulated differently, but none will be cut or compromised. The goal is to create a sustainably developed collection that can be worn in several different ways, using the most basic shape possible" (Tara St. James).

The Tortoise or The Hare?
Slow and Steady Wins the Race. A clothing company that might just skate the line between fashion brilliance and political sanctity. Addressing two of the most important issues in fashion:
01) Why do “experimental ideas only exist in the high-priced.. realm?”
02) Why is it that massive chain stores provide only “trickle down basics?”
Slow and Steady “catalogue(s) ideas that are focused on a specific and fundamental characteristic of clothing design.” They use simple, basic fabrics to make their pieces affordable and a lot of times vegan.
Unfortunately, in order to achieve some of their goals of the art form of fashion they only make 100 of each design. All designs are made to stand the test of time (see Slow Fashion) and redirect the wasteful nature of trendiness.
I just want to quote their whole page I feel so passionate about it. It’s pretty much what I’ve been looking for in fashion: a politically conscious vision in fashion-forward design.
Also, I want these so much I might crap my pants...
Wedges "covered entirely of natural, unbleached canvas." You may also find them here.
