  • EDITORIAL | One of the images part of an article about cultural appropriation I wrote & shot for @ethicalstylejournal’s upcoming Art & Activism issue (available now for pre-order💋) | Wearing @kharakapas #ADIMAY #EthicalStyleJournal
  • Yo @FLOTUS… Melania's sweatshop made/tone-deaf @ZARA jacket aside, remember the matter at hand: Morality is not defined by the law. (Let’s not forgot the damage that has been done— 2,300+ migrant children already separated from their parents.)

  • INSPIRATION | The making of ‘Memory of Skin’, 2001 by @ChiharuShiota, an installation at the @yokohama_triennale that featured five larger than life, stained and seemingly well worn, homespun dresses suspended from the high ceilings with a steady stream of water pouring over them. Says Shiota, “The dress for me is like a second skin. The body connects to our first skin. The second skin is the clothes. Sometimes clothes explain the owner, and there are a lot of memories inside a dress. I never use a new dress. For me, with a new dress, I cannot start anything, and I am not interested in using a new dress because there are no memories or stories inside it”. via @borderandfall

  • Happy #WorldOceansDay y’all 🌊 Sustainable brand @explorethirdoak is donating $1 to @oceana for every image tagged #thirdoaksavestheoceans 💧 They’re one of the rare producers of 100% recyclable and biodegradable shoes, with a business model built around helping to clean up our overly-polluted oceans (read: 10 million metric tons of plastic dumped daily into them— there is an 80,000-ton 'plastic-monster' lurking in the Pacific as we speak). Now pull out those Insta-worthy ocean pictures fellow Instacatz 🐳 #ADIMAY
  • Anyone from France, Nepal, or India? I have a travel heavy Summer up ahead with a month in each country ✈️ Any brands, creatives & collaborators, or recommendations are welcome: DMs are open for sliding ✨
  • INSPIRATION | Jayaben Desai was responsible for leading a group of South Asian women to the streets in revolt of poor working conditions at the Grunwick film processing factory— later called strikers in saris. Immigrant women of color continue to be constantly devalued in their labor. Let the fight for women's issues— from sexual harassment, the denial of trans womanhood, the forcible removal of children from migrant mothers, corporate, street and state racism, poverty wages, benefit cuts, & reproductive justice— be a constant conversation and fight.
  • It’s important that sustainability doesn’t remain a small, alternative fashion market— which is why it’s so important when big brands make a commitment to use more alternative, low impact eco-friendly materials (but continue to stay critical & curious, consumers!) 🧐 Montreal-based brand @FrankAndOakWomen has debuted their new minimal line. The organic cotton used for this top is grown using methods and materials that have a low impact on the environment. Organic production systems replenish and maintain soil fertility, reduce the use of toxic and persistent pesticides and fertilizers, and build biologically diverse agriculture. #MinimalFO #ADIMAY #MadeForGoodLiving
  • INSPIRATION | Painting by artist @Hiba_Schahbaz. 😍 Hiba's art centers the female figure to unfold a narrative that transcends cultural and political boundaries, telling her own story while heavily embellishing it with imagination and metaphor. Serving as both the artist and the performer, Hiba’s voice as a creator speaks an ancient language in a contemporary feminine voice.
