About Deborah Lindquist

Deborah Lindquist is a pioneer in eco-conscious fashion, known for merging sustainability with style, soul, and storytelling. Nicknamed the “Green Queen,” she’s spent over four decades creating apparel, accessories, and home décor using deadstock, recycled, sustainable, and organic materials. After training at Parsons School of Design, Deborah launched her namesake brand in 1983. Her one-of-a-kind designs—crafted from vintage fabrics, cashmere, denim, and silk parachutes—have earned a loyal following in boutiques and on red carpets alike. Worn by Rihanna, Gwen Stefani, and Pink, her work has been featured in Elle, WWD, InStyle, and more. Her signature reincarnated cashmere cardigans and eco-luxe essentials speak to a slower, more intentional relationship with fashion. She also founded Green Queen, a vegan fashion line offering basics and bodysuits in hemp, modal, and organic cotton. Deborah’s collections invite mindful living and creative reclamation. She is also a writer, speaker, and educator, sharing insights on sustainable design and transformation through her Substack and workshops.Read their story
