I wanted my collection to be ethically designed. I chose to work with vintage linens, lace and repurposed textiles. The inspiration for my line comes from the prairies of the Midwest and its pioneering spirit as well as my love for mid-century modern design. I believe in that a sustainable fashion industry is necessary and I am doing what I can to support ethical, sustainable fashion.
