Fashion Watch: Sworn Virgins

Sworn Virgins is a Los Angeles-based label favored by many Hollywood celebs and fashionistas for their flattering, easy-to-wear dresses and tunics. And since the collection is exclusively made using supersoft bamboo (and 5% spandex for stretch), these pieces end up feeling like a silky second skin when worn. Co-founded by knitting mill owner Alex Amini and designer Roshanne Aghevli, Sworn Virgins emerged from their personal mission to create beautiful organic, eco-conscious fashion. Not to mention the silhouettes happily suit many body types–draping in flattering ways without being overly clingy.Long Lattice Dress in black, spotted at L.A.

Their current goal is to recycle up to 50% of its water used in the dyeing process. Their clothing is made in the USA, with the majority of the dying and manufacturing done locally in and around Los Angeles.
