Want clothing thats trendy and affordable? Its going to cost the environment. According to Earth.org, fast fashion which is the process of creating cheap, quickly made clothing based on trends and celebrity culture is responsible for nearly 10% of global carbon emissions. Even worse, these fibers take a long time to decay in landfills and contribute to the estimated 92 million tons of textile waste thats produced annually.

This is why two Latina fashion entrepreneurs Cindy Castro and Dani Rodriguez are trying to take a more ethical approach to fashion. Their goal: to make clothing that lasts longer, fairly treat the people who bring their designs to life and create products their customers can be proud of.
