Natalie "Alabama" Chanin is an American fashion designer from Florence, Alabama. From 1976 until its closure in 2005, Tee-Jays Manufacturing was one of the largest employers of the Florence textile industry. Chanin's business now operates as a clothing manufacturer on the grounds of the former Tee-Jays company. She is part of the zero-waste fashion movement. Her design company uses organic cotton fabric in their designs, which is said to be sourced sustainably from seed to fabric. Chanin's "open source" philosophy means that patterns and techniques for some of her garments are openly available through books and workshops.
