One of the best parts about the summer festival season is getting gussied up in flamboyant alter-ego-inspired apparel. Tie-dyes, colorful sundresses and dramatic hats are pulled from closets along with devil sticks and hula hoops. But shouldn’t a festival also be a good place to shop for those inner-child-pleasing wardrobe pieces? At the biannual Lake Eden Arts Festival, options abound. Here are some of the most popular offerings sold at LEAF, which took place earlier this month.
• Channel Cindy Lou Who: This spring’s most popular trend among little girls and their moms were these hoop skirts from Bold Mary (http://www.boldmary.com). Created by actress and artist Augusta McDonald, the collection is billed as “a hoop skirt for the 21st century.” Psychedelic-print stretch fabric is finished with a “Whos down in Whoville”-like ring for a fun, cartoonish effect.
• Go organic Designer Andrea Crouse of Gaia Conceptions (http://www.gaiaconceptions.com) makes “Eco Chic for the Urban Nomad.” Her spring 2008 collection features drapey, body-conscious hemp in rich colors and stylish shapes.
• Patch things up: The tried-and-true hippie spirit made an appearance at the Clothes for the Soul booth, with natural fiber patchwork dresses and skirts.
