ELOISE LAPIDUS This talented and rising designer combines her passion for fashion with eco-conscious practices due to her concerns about the impact on our planet. The fashion industry is one of the most polluting industries in the world, and Lapidus had a growing concern about the impact it was having on our planet. Bringing her experience, innovative style, and Parisian charisma to her line of apparel at BoBo House she is the daughter of world-renowned French designer Ted Lapidus. Eloise’s keen fashion sense has been instilled in her since childhood. Early exposure to the world of fashion has allowed Eloise to harvest her designs and concentrate her passion within the industry. Eloise is greatly inspired by 1960s and 1970s Paris and St. Tropez. “Growing up in Paris I was mesmerized by the sophistication and beauty of French women and the streets of the city they called home.” Merging the lifestyles of both Paris and L.A. is a unique concept Eloise infuses into her collections, which are comprised of classic pieces that are romantic while discreet and have the ability to transcend the confines of conventional apparel. Even though it unfortunately costs more Eloise still made a conscious decision to produce, resource fabric and materials as sustainable as possible. She did not consciously have this in mind when she started in fashion. Choosing products that are making a difference or choosing traditional fabrics that are made in a way that’s much more sustainable or eco-conscious is taking the first step. Hopefully consumers will look more closely at labels to see what the product is made of, such as the fibers that are being used and where it is made. Furthermore, when clothes are made well and last longer one will be making small strides to minimize consumption: “Buy less, buy better.” as Eloise states.
