Gabriela Hearst

Having studied international relations in college truly opened up my eyes to the interconnectivity of the way we operate as a society.

Understanding businesses drive consumerism and often disregard the post effects their work will have on the lower rungs of society made me wary of the so-called progress they claimed to make. I had grown up surrounded by an agricultural family. My hands were elbow-deep in the soils of Mexico but my eyes peered up at the overpowering skyscrapers in Manhattan’s downtown financial district.

It wasn’t until I began learning about sustainable business practices and closed-loop supply cycles that I found an ethical way to approach business. Gabriela Hearst was one of the first brands I came across whose messaging matched her manufacturing and marketing process. Gabriela embraces every learning curve and need to innovate as she expands into larger markets while keeping true to her waste-reducing and more ethical business practices.

Brands looking to penetrate the luxury space should consider Gabriela Hearst as a muse and an exemplary sustainable business role model.
