Down to Earth:
Organic Materials and Natural Textures
“In the spring, at the end of the day, you should smell like dirt,” writes Margaret Atwood. Even if you can’t get out into nature, embrace the season of new beginnings with earthy textures and organic materials, from the intricate weave of Nehera’s take on the slipdress and a macramé-like knitted tank from Lemaire to a handmade horn comb and a centuries-old primer on the “curiosities” of the natural world. And for a cleaner alternative to Atwood’s suggested scent, try a dab of OLO’s Dafne, which Portland-based perfumer Heather Sielaff describes as “spring in a bottle.”
