The Redress Spring Fashion Show is the premier eco-fashion showcase of the Southeast.
The Redress fashion show highlights designers with accessible and innovative collections as well as emphasizing that “green” is in all aspects of life, including fashion. The clothing selected for each show has a strong emphasis on eco-friendly design – examples include recycled, upcycled, or remanufactured garments; eco-friendly fabrics and/or sustainable production processes (such as no-waste pattern making or natural dyes); and/or a domestic supply chain.
Preview work from the 8 featured designers here:

Love an infinity scarf? WELL! Just use a big square one, or you can do the same with a long rectangular! I suggest a 45×45 inch square or 22×90 inch long scarf!

** (if I may say so, myself… but, ask those who’ve taken my classes… they’ll agree!!)
I’m THRILLED to again be in the Redress Raleigh Eco-Fashion Show!!!
I’m am thinking BIG this time…I’m kinda psyched!!!!!!!
http://redressraleigh.com/2015-spring-fashion-show
I’ve already got a great group of models, and I’ve got some big design aspirations this year, in particular.
Look for updates here… I’ll post some in-progress pics when I can.
XO
I hope all of you had a wonderful holiday, no matter what holiday it is you celebrate!
I’m excited to start this year off with a big push in productivity!!
I’m thrilled and honored to be in some amazing boutiques in Raleigh!!
First, I’ve been part of NoFo for a few years now. I love that place… it’s a go-to stop for me for fun, unique gifts for birthdays and baby showers, and just a wonderful place to escape with my imagination. PLUS they have a flipping amazing restaurant/cafe downstairs!!
Next up is new for me since the fall!! Galatea Boutique in Seaboard Station, across from Logan’s Trading! THIS shop is a landmark, in my opinion. I remember going there when I was in college, with my Mom, checking out the super groovy clothing and accessories they have!! The ladies who own and run the shop there, too, are lovely, unique women!
Finally, one of the newer shops in the area, but absolutely one with a following already, and a simply marvelous, energetic owner and staff… Nora & Nicky’s in downtown Raleigh. I’m tickled to be part of their shop and their enthusiasm. Plus, they’re now part of the Redress Raleigh community!!
So, be sure to check them all out. Beyond the fact that every one of my scarves is individually created, I’m designing so each boutique is carrying a somewhat different color story or style than the other.
Have a photo of a Leopold Designs piece to share? I’d love to see you!! Please feel free to share it or email it to me to post!
It’s THAT time again!!!
The Carrboro Elf Fair on Saturday, December 6th, and the Boylan Heights ArtWalk on Sunday, December 7th!!
Saturday, come to the ArtsCenter in Carrboro for the 8th Annual Elf Fair! I love Carrboro and the people that frequent the ArtsCenter. It’s always full of true creativity and warm smiles!
On Sunday, at the Boylan Heights ArtWalk, come find me set up on the porch of 410 S Boylan Street. This historic ArtWalk is in its 22nd year!! It’s a tremendous event, with exceptional artists lining the streets and porches of charming and scenic Boylan Heights.
Definitely a show NOT to miss!!
Yes, I will want a nap all day on Monday… but this will be so worth it. These are two of the best shows (aside from The Handmade Market!!) I do, and I am SO fortunate to be part of each year!
