Lauren Altman’s newest Heart Collection presents a bespoke capsule line that celebrates love. Each piece is meticulously crafted with 100% deadstock and recycled fabrics, embellished with one-of-a-kind spray-painted heart motifs, leather appliqués, and artisanal metallic gold accents. What sets it apart is the opportunity for personalized flair—enthusiasts can opt for a specialized message, lovingly hand-stitched by the artist. From transitional outerwear to oversized tees, mini skirts, and painted boots, each piece embodies sustainable fashion, narrating its own distinct tale. This collection epitomizes loving symbolism.
Altman’s journey into the realm of sustainable fashion began during an eye-opening artist residency in India. There, amidst the vibrant colors and rich cultural tapestry, she witnessed firsthand the detrimental effects of clothing waste on the environment. Inspired by this experience, she returned to her Brooklyn studio with a renewed purpose: to create fashion that not only looks good but also does good.
Drawing from her background in fine art and the fashion industry, Altman embarked on a mission to redefine the concept of clothing as wearable art. At Lauren Altman Studio, she specializes in crafting one-of-a-kind pieces. Central to Altman’s philosophy is the belief that fashion should be a means for health, wellness, and sustainability. This ethos is evident in every aspect of her work, from the materials she uses to the message she aims to convey.
In a world where fast fashion reigns supreme, Lauren Altman Studio stands as a beacon of hope for those seeking a more sustainable alternative.
