Editor’s Picks by Grechen Cohen CEO of Grechen’s Closet


My personal effort to make my wardrobe more earth-friendly has always included independent designers; without them, we wouldn’t HAVE a “green” fashion movement, nor would we have the choices we do now of stylish, eco-friendly clothing & accessories.  But lately, I’ve been exploring more vintage options; “new” raw materials aren’t being used, to create them, so buying vintage is essentially fashionable recycling.  And since I’m not the greatest thrift-store shopper around, searching for vintage treasures online is my favorite way to shop.  I love that at Smashing Darling, I can shop from a few eco-friendly designers AND vintage sellers at the same place…so just for fun, here’s an outfit I put together:

fabulous reworked 50’s black swing dress
lovely vintage embroidered handbag
gorgeous vintage mother-of-pearl cuff from India
to “modernize” the outfit a little bit, a comfy bamboo/organic cotton wrap top by Sandmaiden
