The Brooklyn Fashion + Design Accelerator (BF+DA) is a community where aspiring and up-and-coming designers can gather for advice, materials and equipment. The catch? They have to be willing to create a line that is crafted with the planet in mind. Take Mara Hoffman’s new boho bathing suits made from recycled spandex, or Eileen Fisher’s entire line of staples made from recycled cashmere, wool and cotton that’s been re-spun into new fabric....
Being a better lover of the earth requires us to start with introspection. It requires a willingness to look at uncomfortable truths and have the courage to unlearn what we thought we knew. It is only through unlearning that we can begin to see beyond the individual and collective stories that keep us trapped inside our own heads.
