SUSTAINABILITY
Our charity has recycled 225,000 pounds of designer merchandise into new customers hands, saving those pieces from landfills and overflowing eco-systems.
Donate
I started The Fashion Foundation at 23-years-old after being in the fashion industry and constantly seeing brands with excess samples and merchandise lying around their showrooms. Often times that product ended up in the garbage because no-one knew what to do with it.
Today, The Fashion Foundation serves as a platform for designers and brands to easily donate that product to, while knowing that merchandise will help local students in need.
I'm so proud of building this organization from a home office with one clothing rack from friends, to now, being widely recognized in the fashion industry and platforms like Nasdaq, The New York Times, Forbes, The Kelly Clarkson Show and more.
