This animal-friendly lookbook was taken by photographer Laura Dart in Oregon. It is within this Northwestern state that Josie Faye sources its wool, keeping both the production and display sectors of the label in the same space. In addition to the wool, Starnes has also included cotton in this collection. The materials are environmentally-friendly as they have been sourced from an [organic American cotton farm](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/palma), making shoppers all the more comfortable with making purchases from this feminine and subtle Spring/Summer 2014 line. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.4/10 - Popularity: 45% | Activity: 20% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Hand-spun Knitwear:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in creating unique, individualized knitwear using time-honored hand-spinning techniques. - **Animal-friendly Fashion:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in creating fashion lines that source materials from ethical and cruelty-free suppliers. - **Environmentally-friendly Materials:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in using organic and sustainable materials like cotton to create eco-friendly fashion collections. ### Who This Affects Most - **Fashion Design:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the fashion design industry by incorporating hand-spinning techniques to create unique knitwear. - **Textile Manufacturing:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the textile manufacturing industry by sourcing materials from ethical suppliers and promoting animal-friendly practices. - **Sustainable Fashion:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the sustainable fashion industry by using environmentally-friendly materials like organic cotton to create eco-conscious collections. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Handcrafted Fall Knitwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/atelier-solana.md) - [Luxury Slow Fashion Brands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kzk-studio.md) - [Affordable Quiet Luxury Handbags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/josiie-bag.md) - [Model-Off-Duty Essentials](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modeloffduty-essentials.md) - [Sustainable Summer Dresses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/palma.md) - [Beach-Inspired Spring Fashion Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/a-kind-of-guise-3.md) - [Comfortable Sophisticated Knit Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kerisma-knits.md) - [Americana-Inspired Spring Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/origin-stories-americana.md) - [Seasonal Womenswear Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/artless-forevers-fall-25.md)
