Biography
Lincoln Square
Well before “eco-fashion” became an everyday term, Melissa Baswell devoted herself to the mission of creating eco-friendly clothing that was also fashion forward. In 2002, Baswell launched her Mountains of the Moon womenswear label, a vintage inspired, all-sustainable line of feminine dresses and separates. Melissa Baswell’s designs have been featured in publications worldwide, have shown at Chicago and Portland Fashion Weeks, and have been exhibited at Chicago’s Museum of Contemporary Art. Price points range from $60 to $250. Items from Mountains of the Moon’s collection can be purchased at Workshop, on mountainsofthemoon.com, and in boutiques throughout the U.S. and Canada.
