To celebrate Earth Day we are going back, to move forward. Back to the basics, the original tools- sewing, gardening and the sharing of garments at the farm. 🌱👖🧵Bring garments to swap and sign up for a sewing or composting workshop. Either way come celebrate the earth with us at @462halsey on 4/20. 🗣Fun Facts- 70% of millennials don’t know how to sew and of that 55% want to learn and agrees it’s a vital skill also 5 million of 2017’s 6 million new gardeners were millennials. It’s clear there’s a surge in wanting/ needing/ understanding the importance of our return to growing our foods and producing our garments.

Flash Back Friday to last week’s Refashion Show hosted by @donatenyc! I was among 6 amazing sustainable stylists across NY/NJ. Each paving our own uncharted paths to a greener and cleaner fashion industry. 🏆- Happy International Women’s Day to me. Could you believe I was one of the winning stylists and I’ll be styling a full page spread for @housingworks ad!!! God is goot!!! 🗣Fashion is culture, love, inventive, laughter, creative and protection but what it shouldn’t be is environmentally harmful or cost lives. Positive Obsession is here to remind us. #WhatsYourPositiveObsession #RethinkFashion #TrueCost #MyLittleThing #SustainableFashion #Circular #EcoFashion #TrashTalk #FashionRevolution #Upcycle #Reuse #Recycle #Refashion #ClothesTheLoop #BlackGirlMagic #CloseTheLoop #Style #MamaIMadeIt #BrownGirlGreenWorld
