Deborah Lindquist


Mini skirts and ski sweaters, what better icons of LA winters? Deborah Lindquest is an LA designer who has dressed famous trendsetters who care about the environment. Such stars as Gwen Stefani, Carlize Theron and Paris Hilton. Her creations are a mix of recycled cashmere, repurposed kimonos and saris, vintage silk scarves, and sustainable materials such as hemp, organic cotton, and organic wool. Her aesthetic is flirty with corset bodices and flounced skirts being eternally feminine. But then she'll add a strong graphic element from a tiki influence, a fleur de lys, skull and bones or native american patterns to make a modern and at times irreverent piece.
