LIILA: Sustainable Fashion

?? Successful Booth at SBHS! ?? Liila had the incredible opportunity to address the vibrant community at South Brunswick High School on the importance of sustainable fashion. It was truly heartening to see the enthusiasm and interest from students, sustainable fashion designers, industry professionals, and youth advocates alike. This week, we set up a booth to showcase our latest collection, ESSENCE, made from banana plants, ahimsa (cruelty-free) silk, and upcycled materials saved from landfills. ?? Our discussions were rich and varied, delving into the role of #artificialintelligence in sustainable fashion, strategies to minimize waste, and the unique challenges and opportunities of being a teenage entrepreneur in this industry. The engagement and thoughtful Q&A with the audience highlighted the growing interest and awareness surrounding sustainable fashion in our youth. ?? The key takeaway from our time together was the collective recognition of the pivotal role the younger generation plays in spearheading change. By instilling the values of #sustainability early on, we can collectively shape a future where conscious consumerism is the norm, and our fashion choices contribute to building a more ethical and #ecofriendly society. ??Together, we can leverage innovation, minimize environmental impact, and foster a community committed to positive change. Excited about the journey ahead and grateful for the opportunity to inspire the next generation! ??

?? Liila's Commitment to Advocating for Sustainable Fashion! ?? This week, I had the incredible honor of being invited to Thomas Jefferson Middle School in Edison to share the story of Liila and discuss the importance of sustainable fashion with the future leaders of tomorrow. It was a heartwarming experience, and I am eager to share the highlights with you all! ?? The students' enthusiasm for sustainable fashion was truly inspiring. I had the privilege of engaging with so many bright young minds who are genuinely passionate about making a positive impact on the planet. One particular girl even expressed her ambition to start a brand like Liila in the future to combat fast fashion – a testament to the power of education and awareness! ?? During the event, I presented the journey and timeline of how EACH Liila dress comes to life, shedding light on our commitment to sustainability. From the sourcing of eco-friendly fabrics to the meticulous craftsmanship, it was an opportunity to showcase the transparency and values that form the core of Liila. ?? Exploring the process behind each dress resonated with the students, allowing them to connect with the tangible efforts being made to create a positive change in the #fashion industry. We delved into the origins of our materials, the artisans involved in the production process, and the impact of conscious consumer choices. Let's continue to nurture the passion for #sustainability in the younger generations and empower them to be the change-makers we need. Together, we can create a more conscious and eco-friendly world! ?? ??
