Recent Parson's graduate Rachel Ford is a promising new designer exploring organic and sustainable fabrics. In her spring collection, she visits the lines between hard and soft, natural and man made. Many of her pieces are hand painted or dyed (including the stunning dress pictured above). And, those amazing shoes pictured? Recycled car innertubes! Amazing.

I absolutely cannot wait for Ford to reveal her Fall Collection. Rachel doesn't have a website yet, so I will do my best to feature it on Paper-Doll
