About me / About business or organisation:

I am an FIT and Istituto Marangoni graduate. Have been in the fashion business for approximately 15 years now. Our company, HOPE Made in the world is an ethical apparel brand, focused on producing premium, versatile, basic garments for the everyday green consumer. We are an online company based our of the United States, and we are working very hard to maintain a responsible approach throughout our supply chain. We are also on the journey to be certified child labor free, since our main premise is to help make the industry a safer place for garment workers and their families.

Career history / Company history:

I went to the Fashion Institute of Technology in 2002, then went ahead to get a masters degree from Marangoni in Milan, Italy. I have not been a supporter of what the industry has become, and how it has been taking away the livelihood of the people that make the garments, therefore, my expertise and experience took me to develop a start-up where we support this journey. By becoming a part of a small community of pioneers, our main goal is to be able to help break the myths of how in order to incorporate this lifestyle it is more costly.

Furthermore, HOPE is embarking on a motto of GLOBALLY CERTIFIED, LOCALLY VALUED philosophy. We want to be able to certify all our processes from seed to garment, and be able to guarantee our followers that what we advocate, is real, and honest.
