Catch designs by Brooks Luby at Fashion West today.
Fashion designer Brooks Luby calls herself a quiet rebel. She hasn't always been about making clothes her own way, but over her decades-long career, she's found satisfaction in experimenting with new ways to create garments as well as sticking to traditional methods.
Her latest creations focus on repurposing materials, aligning herself with the slow fashion movement, which spotlights the sustainability of high-quality clothes that are made to last."When people come in, I show them how I use a piece of leftover fabric and piece things together to make it interesting. Then the clothing becomes a treasured item they will want to keep because there's a story behind it," she explains.
Those"rules" include designs she's created in the past, cut from patterns she worked to perfect over the years. Luby enjoys mixing the two styles together."I have an aesthetic that's pretty eclectic," she comments, adding that she feels there's always a place for having a plain sheath dress, then dressing it up with a bold jacket.
