Tara Lynn, a talented and innovative designer, is said to be the poster child for sustainable business in Northern Vermont. Her unique collections are inspired by and dedicated to environmental causes. Tara Lynn’s studio runs off solar electricity. The shelves are stocked with vintage and recycled materials collected over years of yard sale shopping. The ceiling is adored with inspirational pictures hung over a floor of antique sewing machines. Tara Lynn drapes her samples on her dress form by the window.

Tara Lynn, born in 1979, grew up in Setauket, NY. She began making Barbie clothes, quilts and costumes back in grade school. During her teenage years she wore her own creations inspired by the designs of John Paul Gaultier. She conducted high school fashion shows and photo shoots while dreaming up her future company.

Tara Lynn earned a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Fashion Design from the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City. After graduating, Tara Lynn moved to Vermont with her husband Evan. Together they lived in a tiny log cabin without running water and electricity while building their home and Tara Lynn’s studio. The studio was complete and solar installed when five of her creations were requested in the “Cat Walk on the Wild Side” 2005 eco-fashion show in San Francisco. Tara Lynn returned from California ready to start her company.

She began doing alterations on the side to survive while designing her collections. Tara Lynn received a marketing grant from the Vermont Woman’s Business Center. Six months latter her garments were accepted into art galleries, Paradise City Craft Festivals, and won first place in the Rags Wearable Art Show in Tacoma, Washington.

Tara Lynn’s creative energy rises as she research’s environmental issues. She experiments with textiles and works her passion for nature into her creations. Each garment is one of a kind. The artwork made both by hand and machine may be a collage of quilting, printing, vintage lace, crochet or embroidery. Her favorite textile artist Annemieke Mein, Deidre Scherer and Dina Knap inspire her work.

Since 2005 Tara Lynn has launched three collections. Tara Lynn Wearable Art is a collection of designer jackets and coats dedicated to endangered species. Five percent of the profits are donated to organizations protecting endangered species. Tara Lynn Bridal is a collection of hemp wedding gowns for the growing market of eco-wedding consumers.

Five percent of Earth Bitch profits are donated to the National Resource Defense Council.
