Spring/Summer 07 Collection

The birth of naturevsfuture was in the spring of 2002 by Brooklyn born Nina Valenti. Launched 6 years after graduating Parsons & designing streetwear, Valenti needed to create her own line that would expose her unique aesthetic. The name was inspired by the designer's belief that there is a constant struggle between nature and future, a tension between organic forces and technological ones. Mixing natural & sustainable fibers like organic cotton, organic wool, hemp, soy, bamboo, seacell (seaweed), lyocell (wood pulp), Ingeo!" (created from corn), along with recycled fiber fabrics such as Polartec & POP (made from recycled soda pop bottles) she creates pieces that have a futuristic edge yet are inherently classic.
