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.

The founder of Brother Vellies launched the nonprofit organization, Fifteen Percent Pledge.  The initiative calls for major retailers to dedicate a minimum 15% of shelf space to Black-owned business.  Sephora was the first major corporation to pledge.

 A newer tradition developed from the horrors of certain families, or maybe just the stress of all the preparation, but Hubby and I are ditching all that this year - we're going camping.

Be safe, be fed, be thankful. All my love.
