Leanimal (a.k.a. Leanne Marshall), a Portland (Oregon)-based designer, has been competing on Project Runway, a creative competition reality television series featuring talented new designers. It's not just that Leanimal uses recycled textiles and eco-friendly fabrics to add appeal to her work. Her garments are creatively structured, often layered with pleats and folded fabric. Pictured here is the GEZANE DRESS - Isn't it just lovely and sassy? Check out Leanimal's Etsy shop to see fashions she has recently sold (under 'Sales'). She's in the process of rebuilding her inventory.

Yes, this dress really does look like paper - her pleats look almost unreal. Just last week, Leanne Marshall won the top award on Project Runway Season 5 - more validation of her talent. You and I spotted her first!
