VIP Spring Sip & Shop Reception

Yema (from Kibera slums in Kenya) and Hawi (a refugee from Ethiopia) met at Dominican College in the Bay Area, California and started the brand with a mission to help others. They now provide scholarships to educate orphaned children back home, in the Kibera slums in Kenya and Addis Ababa Ethiopia. Join them at a special NYFW event to promote their new line at this showcase and reception, celebrating fashion for a cause.

Maalicious was born to provide a platform for women artisans in India and to help rejuvenate traditional arts. A large part of their proceeds go into empowering these skilled women. Designed in NYC, their jewelry is gold plated and handmade. They strive to ensure that our materials are responsibly sourced and some of our earrings are even made of sustainable materials like clay, wood, silk, etc. As a women-only run firm, they stand in solidarity with skilled and marginalized women.

Randy Cow waterproof pocket selection of men's swim shorts (or men's swim trunks as their Mums call them!) are made with 90% recycled plastic (12 bottles are repurposed into every pair) and 10% Spandex for stretch and comfort. All waterproof swimming shorts are complimented with a revolutionary waterproof pocket which will keep your belongings dry, down to 30 metres - not your average board shorts! Each pair in their selection of men's swimming shorts have been lovingly made by their crack team of scientists. All carefully designing parts of swimming trunks, and once they put their heads together, magic happens.
