Designer Natalie (a.k.a. "Alabama") Chanin founded Project Alabama in 2000. Her line of handmade chic items ranges from recycled T-shirts to painted-on eveningwear. Chanin uses local seamstresses to create all designs and does her part for the environment by recycling T-shirts and other items. In 2005 the label will introduce a new line of its celebrated T-shirts at more affordable prices and is one of three finalists for the Cooper Hewitt National Design Award for Fashion and one of 10 designers up for the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund.
