Organic Runway 2025
The third annual HVSFW Organic Runway showcased Fashion Designers living and working in the Hudson Valley who are committed to design methods that align with a sustainable ethos and circular design.
This collection by Moth Snow of Touch Threads transforms reclaimed home textiles into airy garments, layered with texture, color, and hand-painted detail. This work is an homage to home, place, and the mysticism of protection and belonging. With foundations in historical textile motifs, reclaimed natural fibers, and elemental plant and animal totems, each piece holds the spirit of living memory.
Magic blooming in the rust weaves cosmic visions and botanical beauty into textiles and adornments, resulting in a hypnotic dance of symbols stitched slowly and methodically into fabric. This Mixed Color collection explores the sacred nature of handcraft and the evolving qualities of natural materials. By working with discarded fabrics, Christi brings new life to what others have cast aside. Natural dyes, intricate patchworks, and hand embroidery work to reimagine the past in a blossom of pattern and texture, while voluminous silhouettes allow for comfort and ease with every breath.
Consciously designed using remnant fabrics from production runs, MLE’s clothing collection is inspired by the modern gentlewoman. With five one-of-a-kind looks, each piece is designed to make a statement and be cherished for years to come. MLE’s first clothing collection is intended to be an extension to pair with the designer’s established assortment of accessories. The debut of these pieces coincides with the opening of the new MLE store in Hudson, NY, this weekend at 325 Warren St.
There is a levity we feel from bold florals and soft natural fibers and a heavy spiritual weight to military fabrics. Our collection magnifies and resolves their tension. Slow Process is an art project disguised as a clothing label. Within the aesthetics of menswear, our designs foreground narrative and the craft of garment-making.
‘Our world deserves better’ For this year’s collection, we really wanted to use what we had in abundance in our studio. The throughline is collars cut off of men’s button downs. We love to cut a collar off a shirt, but obviously couldn’t throw them away, so you will find collars reimagined as skirts, straps, tops, and more.
The focus of Olga +Ella is creating clothing that feels lived-in from the start — pieces that bring comfort, confidence, and a sense of ease. Everything begins with the material. I’m drawn to fabrics with texture, age, or history, and I let them guide the shape and tone of each design.
‘Rekindled’: On Vicki Island, discarded textiles enter a new era through thoughtful repurposing via dyeing, appliqué, knitting and more. Today’s presentation is a bricolage of reclaimed materials including scarves, table linens, lace, trim and leather.
Caitlyn Kiara Couture pieces wear like a second skin. From curves that flatter, reveal, and stay put to huge exaggerated silhouettes that don’t compromise drama. Integrity in all of life’s busy body moments. Go to the Aldi, go to the Met. CKC is meant to feel like a Swiss army knife art piece. Supremely utilitarian and priceless. Just like you.

“CAMP” is a sustainable streetwear collection inspired by hiking and camping. Mirroring the circularity in nature, I wanted to not only use deadstock or upcycled materials, but also reuse scraps to create new textiles, closing the loop in the design process.

“Reframed: A Curated Homage” is inspired by the 1980s restoration process of an opulent Vanderbilt mansion in Shelburne, VT. Reconstruction techniques are applied to reclaimed textiles like stained doilies, torn lace, and moth-eaten sweaters. The silhouettes are modern interpretations of classic Victorian Era styles.
