My kit is for an ethically-minded person with an eye for fashion and a desire for comfort. The three garments I have included come from three brands all of which are extremely dedicated to the constant search for more sustainable and ethical methods of design.

Two great things about Everlane: 1. You know exactly what you are paying for since they break down the cost for you and 2. They let you digitally explore each and every one of their factories so you know EXACTLY who is making your clothing. This oversized cardigan is made of 100% extrafine merino wool.

Hello! I’m a Chicago born writer, editor and designer based out of New York City. Fashion, sustainability and travel are among my main areas of interest. I’m recently graduated from Parsons The New School for Design where I majored in Fashion Design and minored in Journalism and Design. In my senior year, I published FEW + FAR Magazine which is comprised of a collection of interviews with influential leaders in the area of sustainable and ethical fashion. The magazine also features my thesis collection of six entirely zero-waste designs. I hope responsible fashion will come to be the new norm in the industry.
