I always get excited when I tear through the New York Times Sunday Styles and see a shout out to a Portland designer. This week featured Anna Cohen’s string bikini, made of scrap fabric from Olympic speed skater uniforms.
Anna Cohen is not only an accomplished designer - she spent several years in NY and Italy studying and working with MaxMara and Guess - but her work embraces a sustainable design model. Her lines are manufactured domestically and are created from organic cotton, sustainable bamboo and surplus mill-end fabrics. If you’re like me, who tends to equate organic and earth friendly fashion with Patagonia-like garb, think again - Anna Cohen has taken eco-conscious-wear to a sexy new level!
You can find her locally at Le Train Bleu (748 NW 11th Ave)
