These Clothes Are Too Hot

Burning Torch, a vision developed by Karyn Craven, is the hottest line in Los Angeles right now.

"As the logo suggests, Burning Torch's foundation is based on transformation and freedom; the brand, like each of its individual pieces, is built on respect for individuals and their cultures. The collections are driven by a vision that melds vintage, modern, organic and global sentiments. Unique to the company is Craven's commitment to recycling materials and to the idea that the energy of all time and history is in each and every garment."

An interesting tidbit is that the debut collection was made from recycled vintage garments and was bought by Barneys New York in the fall of 1999. Each Burning Torch garment reflects tremendous attention to detail, which has become a signature characteristic of the line.

“My absolute favorite materials to work with for the green collection are recycled materials,” designer Karyn Craven has said. “We take discarded items and transform them into new, extremely beautiful and desirable objects.”
