Fashion - Maison de Mode

 

On the heels of Earth Day, Maison de Mode held the 5th Annual Sustainable Style Awards.

The house itself is home to various brands, operating as a platform for sustainable fashion, "connecting creators, curators and consumers for a better tomorrow."

Founders are Amanda Hearst, Hassan Pierre, and Carmen Busquets.
