✂️ MEET THE DESIGNER: ARLO ESTILL 🌿

For Arlo Estill, slow fashion starts with the material itself.

Arlo is the co-founder and creative force behind Hempsmith, a clothing brand born from the belief that what we wear can be made differently.

Hempsmith grew from a vision Arlo shared with his brother Zafer: to bring industrial h**p fiber into the mainstream and rethink the relationship between what we wear, how it's made, and the world around us.

And that vision continues right here at The Plant! From hand tie-dyeing and screen printing to embroidery and experimenting with new designs, Hempsmith's pieces come to life in their onsite workshop—embracing the character, creativity, and individuality of handmade clothing.

This year, Arlo brings Hempsmith back to the runway with a collection featuring graphic tees inspired by local projects alongside new h**p garments.

Join us for the 6th Annual Hempsmith Runway: An Evening of Slow Fashion, celebrating the creativity, craftsmanship, and community behind a more sustainable approach to fashion. 🧵✨

📅 Thursday, October 9 | 5–9 PM
🛍️ Sustainable • Vintage • Reworked Fashion Market | 5–9 PM
👗 Runway Show | 7 PM
📍 The Plant | 220 Lorax Lane, Pittsboro
🎟️ VIP seating available!

Come see what happens when sustainability isn't just part of the conversation—it's woven into the fabric. 🌱

✂️ MEET THE DESIGNER: SHELBY FIELDS 🧵

Who says you have to sacrifice comfort to make a fashion statement? ✨

For designer Shelby Fields, looking your best and feeling your best should go hand in hand.

With her collection, Pants Pants Revolution, Shelby is bringing a playful, personality-filled approach to the runway, celebrating clothing that feels just as good as it looks.

Her vision? A world where our best-dressed moments are also our most comfortable—where upscale meets everyday ease, formal meets casual, and personal style doesn't have to follow the rules.

Because great fashion shouldn't just turn heads. It should make you feel like yourself. 💃

See Shelby's collection come to life at the 6th Annual Hempsmith Runway: An Evening of Slow Fashion! 🌿

📅 Friday, October 9 | 5–9 PM
🛍️ Sustainable • Vintage • Reworked Fashion Market | 5–9 PM
👗 Runway Show | 7 PM
