Eco fashion designer Tara St. James (former creative director of Covet) is in the process of producing her first independent collection under the newly formed creative collective StudyNY.

The Square Project is a study of shapes in relation to the human form – starting with the square. Each style will be made from a different number of squares. Style 1 uses 1 single square. Style 2 uses 2 squares and so on.

The Square Project will launch during New York Fashion Week as part of the Green Show. Until then, you can follow Tara's daily progress through her blog. And, if you're impressed with the concept and would like to support independent fashion - you can contribute through Kickstarter. Your donations will used to train young new designers and employ stylists, make-up artists and models for the show.

See, you can be part of New York Fashion Week!
