Why We Love It: We’d expect nothing less from designer Nina Valenti of naturevsnurture than an edgy and modern interpretation on a classic. The slightly asymmetrical hemlime and slits at the neckline and of course, the ‘slashed’ slits in the back, give the basic shift dress a little bit of rock and roll.

The rich plum color is sublime and the dress can be worn with or without the  reversible, and slimming, black & plum obi belt. It is made of a hemp and tencel blend.

Valenti’s garments are made as much as possible from organic, sustainable, renewable, and biodegradable materials. Fabrics include organic cotton, organic wool, hemp, soy, bamboo, seacell® (seaweed), lyocell (wood pulp), Ingeo™ (created from corn) and recycled and technological fabrics such as Polartec® (made from soda pop bottles or industry waste). All of her garments are made locally in New York.
