The Battalion specializes in knits and woven fabrics that are eco-friendly: primarily bamboo, organic cotton blends, and some cruelty free ?peace? silk. At the hands of the designers, knit fabrics that have generally been synonymous with basic t-shirts and baby doll dresses, are now adapted for tailored jackets, form-fitting tops, and even red-carpet worthy dresses.

For the designers, inspiration often comes from a particular era of the past - i.e. a scene from a favorite movie, or text from a favorite book. For Spring 2009, the designers draw inspiration from the 30?s erotic icon, Anais Nin, combining romantic touches with the harder edges of rock and roll. The design goal is to fuel the brand with plenty of iconic, evocative imagery while being inspired by individual style and contemporary culture. Although the collections have strong narratives, The Battalion silhouettes and palettes will always remain clean and modern in attempt to maximize wear-ability. Chrys wants the line to connect with the customer on an emotional level by making references to culture. Linda feels it?s important to make clothes for the woman who is full of ambition, and always on the go. She is smart, curious, and in tune of worldly affairs. The Battalion doesn?t design clothes that could only be worn once to a party, or basic tees that discourage imagination. The Battalion makes clothes that can be mixed and matched; clothes that are classic but with an edge; well designed but not uptight; simple but original.
