Bweela Steptoe-

Bweel Steptoe Earth conscious Style Cotton is the fabric of choice for Bweela Steptoe's Collection; the line recycles and reinvents jeans creating distinct wearable art. Bweela extends and often complements this look with her signature"Holy TEES"; the result a deconstructed look with a couture feel. With zero waste as a company policy, scraps of left over fabric become skirts, bustiers and other accessories. On a smaller scale the company recycles waste paper from candy wrappers, making bags, belts & patch pockets out of them.

"If we just stop for a moment and take a good look at these beautifully colored wrappers we would see the potential in them", Says Ms Steptoe, " By saving them and creating a collage out of the I turn something that most people look at as trash into art while also lessening the waste around us. I rarely throw away any of my scraps of fabric because they can always be used to make "something".

Hand created pieces can be a bit pricey the challenge was creating pieces that were affordable while remaining true to the brand's core style and philosophy.. this Thursday Bweela will do just that.. as she present samples of her new "retail line"! Produced locally w

About Fashioning IT BKSTYLE!™

Fashion That does something is just Cool ...

there still is little understanding between the independent tech circles as to the full extent of Fashion and it's intersection with Technology. Brooklyn Fashion Week is reaching Out to someof teh Folks we met at FashionCamp!NY And presenting as special Internet Week NY evnt

We discovered many cool product, businesses and experts in Fashion and Tech at FashionCampNYC and we'd love to share with those who love BKSTYLE!

FashionCamp is a fashion a technology Unconference held twice a year in NY and now spreading to LA, SEATTLE CHIGACO….

There are tech companies whose products and services help with

research, design, rendering, production, presentation of fashion related products. Then there are many new fashion companies that are strictly online. By far my favorite are Fabrictors and the wearable technologist and designers (books and resources) on creating clothing that utilize technology

... so Fashioning IT BKSTYLIST!™ is an events designed primarily to connect and expose these new technologies, possibilities and resources to local designers!

Our Goal is Bridging The digital Divide... We have the Ability through a partnership with Streets of New York Marketing Agency and our platform of Independent Fashion to reach New York's communities not traditionally exposed to it prolific digital offerings!

If you offer products targeted to any BKSTYLE!™ event (including technology for fashion and Business) please fill out the “Designers, Partners and Sponsors for BKSTYLE!™”

If you are in Fashion we recommend you not only sign up but attend these events... What You do NOT KNOW Can Cost You!
