Sarahbeth Larrimore bears a distinct resemblance to French actress Charlotte Gainsbourg—which fits, since the Asheville designer named her winter collection “Mistral Holiday,” after the dry north wind that blows in that country. But Larrimore is a full decade younger than her A-list doppelganger. And her fluidly cut, organic and sustainable casual clothing has a youthful edge. Larrimore uses fairly traded fabrics treated with low-impact, fiber-reactive dyes, and she donates one percent of her profits to Clean Water for NC. Her company name, Unabashed Apparel, encapsulates its own mission statement. Larrimore says: “I want to create clothes that enhance and inspire freedom.”
