San Francisco-based fashion designers Rachael Mann and Mackenzie Burdick recently strutted their LITTER SF line of headpieces and body jewelry, which is primarily made up of previously enjoyed jewelry, at Christian Cota’s Spring 2010 presentation. After discovering the upcycled jewelry line, Cota’s show stylist convinced the designers to bring their brand to New York.
Some unique creations by LITTER SF have been featured in Elle and Harper's Bazaar magazines, and are quickly gaining popularity with fashion organizers and fashionistas alike. Now that LITTER SF can be found on the runway, the savvy sister act puts their own San Francisco style on the global fashion map.
