“Theres a cultural misunderstanding of the role of a designer, as an artist, as a larger than life personality. Forgetting that clothing is fundamentally a tool of service.

Young designers need to pivot their role in society, and their obligation to do good work that doesn’t harm the environment.

I would love every young designer to pause and consider and ethical construct of their work.

I vow to...

- Design quality, durable product that will make the wearer feel good.
- I promise not to use fresh water unless it falls from the sky.
- I promise not to pollute and I promise not to use fossil fuels.
- I promise to make product that is recyclable, and to use recycled materials.
- I promise to respect the consumer, to protect the workers, and I promise to be honest and transparent.”
