Bodkin. Eco-silhouettes.


Bodkin is a women’s collection that brings to clothing the mission of architectural modernism: good, smart design. With comfort at its core, Bodkin creates urban essentials with modern silhouettes and wry detail—patchworking, carefully deployed asymmetry—that lends its simple shapes a subtle specialness. Bodkin favors a relaxed, understated, day-to-night sense of chic that reflects the personality of creative Brooklyn.

Designer Eviana Hartman is also a writer; she was the fashion features editor at NYLON, fashion writer at Vogue and Teen Vogue, and the founding columnist of EcoWise in The Washington Post. She collaborated with designer Wendy Mullin on the Sew U series of books for Little, Brown and Potter Craft, and has written about music, style, architecture, and design for such publications as Dwell, I.D., Purple Fashion, VMan, Domino, and Wired.

FEED 100


The Feed 100 Bag by Lauren Bush is now available to purchase at nationwide Whole Foods stores. The cost is $10 and each profit will be donated to the World Food Program's Rwanda School Feeding operation. This reusable bag will provide nutritious meals for hungry school children in Rwanda.

"Creating the FEED bag was inspired by the need to take better care of children and the planet at the same time," said Lauren Bush, co-founder and CEO of FEED Projects.

Designed exclusively for Whole Foods Market, the FEED 100 reusable bag is organic cotton and natural burlap and is produced with the commitment to fair treatment of workers, livable wages, paid overtime and safe working environments. The eco-friendly tote condenses into a small pouch to make it easier to remember when buying groceries.
