Because fashion has gone eco in Portland. With a fresh crop of talented designers focused on sustainability, the city’s fashion scene is getting international attention. Here are three names to look for.

  • Anna Cohen’s so-called “Italian street couture” is informed by her four years spent designing for fashion houses in Florence, but—like Cohen—it’s also homegrown: bamboo-jersey drape dresses and hemp-silk blouses. Available at Look (3909 NE MLK St.; 503/888-2182).
  • Suzi Johnson hand-looms sweaters, dresses, and even bikinis from Loro Piana cashmere and, this season, organic cotton sourced in Tanzania. Available at Souchi (807 NW 23rd Ave.; 503/525-0043; souchi.com).
  • Julia Barbee adds whimsical embellishment to vintage finds for her deconstructed Frocky Jack Morgan line. Available at Seaplane (827 NW 23rd Ave.; 503/234-2409).
