After working in a fashion industry for many years, I saw two major issues: 1) the harmful effects of producing fast fashion on the environment; and 2) the lack of diversity.
THE ENVIRONMENT
The fashion industry is the second largest polluter of the environment. As the industry grows, the damage to the environment grows.
DIVERSITY
Although the amount of models of color have slowly increased on the runway, the numbers are not equal. The amount of minority models in marketing ads are still very low with few opportunities offered to them.
We design and produce our collections from natural, recycled and organic textiles and fabrics like hemp, linen and recycled cotton. We produce low quantities to eliminate unused garments. To further eliminate waste, most of our business operations are digital including the fitting sessions of our garments, which we produce in Africa.
To combat the lack of diversity, the face of our brand is minority models. They are highlighted in our fashion films giving them the opportunity to gain exposure at film festivals and in advertising.
