the current landscape of fashion

The current landscape of fashion that has been established is one with an absence of environmental and ethical consciousness. Clothing is most often produced cheaply with little thought given to the environmental consequences and the treatment of the workers involved. We should value respect, not exploitation. Respect not only for the earth, but for the human beings whose living is dependent on the fashion industry.

competitive advantage

There are only a hand-full of all-inclusive eco-fashion labels. There are even fewer that cater to both men and women. Traditionally, the eco-fashion market is not one that has been open to males. We make clothing that is as fashionable and accessible for men as it is for women. This is a rare occurence in the fashion industry.
