Thanks to a head’s up from our friends over at Eco Salon, I remembered that I wanted to post about Canadian Eco-Chic Designer, deux fm.
I never tire of learning and writing about new more earth-friendly designers, and, in my opinion anyway, I feel that the time is here than nearly anything you need or want to buy for your wardrobe is available in organic cotton, bamboo, lyocel, hemp, or other sustainable materials. It’s about time!! And even better, they’re so accessible online, usually from the designers themselves, that it’s not necessary to use up precious fuel to get them. Visit our complete list of Eco-Friendly and Ethical Shopping Sites for everything from Beauty products to Bikinis…
Anyway – back to deux fm. Started in 2006 by fashion design graduate Anna Gilkerson, deux fm is for the “woman who broadcasts both style & ethics.” I couldn’t think of a more perfect way to describe her designs. Ranging from trench coats to bikinis, Anna’s designs are innovative, but not trendy, and totally wearable (sometimes a difficult combination to achieve for fashion designers).
For example:
and I just LOVE this image, it just sums up for me everything that eco-fashion is supposed to be about: comfort, wearability, beauty, and an identification with nature.
Anna’s pieces are incredibly hard to find online at the moment, but Kaight does have the Nimli is carrying a bikini. Hopefully this means they’ll get new stock in this Fall, and of course, we want to see more boutiques pick it up…

These look very comfortable. I love the subtle color options as well. Natural & Chic.
Great post!
