This weekend I'll be participating in an eco lifestyle event called The Ki, located on Treasure Island in San Francisco. My lingerie will be part of the Smart Living Pavilion, specifically as part of the "EcoSex" vignette, hosted by Stefanie Weiss, author of Eco-Sex: Go Green Between the Sheets and Make Your Love Life Sustainable. Other showcasing brands include JimmyJane, Maxim feminine care, and Sir Richards condoms.
Clare Bare is a Brooklyn based artist and designer specializing in eco-friendly lingerie made from bamboo jersey and vintage fabric. All of her pieces are made by hand in limited edition runs, and are structured to flatter your body in a natural way without the use of constrictive hardware. During her years at Parsons, Clare collected and drew inspiration from vintage textiles that eventually piled so high that there was no more space to work. Soon after, "Clare Bare" was conceived out of the need to give her piles of fabric a purpose, and to make good use out of a clever name. Today it is an ever growing business fueled by passion and created for passionate consumers.
