Caitlin Mociun, is the founder and head designer of this label. She is a graduate of the RISD textile department and actively utilizes natural materials like hemp, organic cotton, and soy blends for her fashion collections.
Devidoll explains: “Though created with literature and art in mind each Mociun piece speaks to classic fashion as if it were created only for this purpose. This is intelligent, honest and striking fashion at its best.”

Reading a Lunar interview on Eco Fashion World recently I was captivated by the Lunar collection’s textiles from South Africa and the creative thinking from the label’s fashion designer Karen Ter Morshuizen.

Lunar is the ultimate eco lifestyle vision of fashion designer Karen Ter Morshuizen and her partnership with Paul Harris. Together the creative eco-design team brought to life the conception of nature inspired merchandise. Since it´s inception Lunar has been keenly sensitive to “environmental concerns, exclusively using natural fibres, and natural pigment dyes in each collection.” Read the rest of this entry »
