More than just luxury ethical retailers, MAISON-DE-MODE.COM’s Hassan Pierre and Amanda Hearst are committed advocates for sustainability. Their continued efforts to raise awareness of the need to produce and consume responsibly include mentoring the next generation of designers as part of the CFDA’s Lexus Fashion Initiative, and hosting such events as LA’s now annual pre-Oscar’s Sustainable Style Gala. The co-founders of the Carmen-backed company are also regular speakers at global fashion-led summits, and next month MAISON-DE-MODE.COM will be staging its very own summit in NYC.
