Mara Hoffman founded her label in 2000 after graduating from Parsons School of Design in New York City. Fifteen years later, the brand committed itself to implementing sustainable and responsible practices while remaining committed to presenting colorful collections inspired by and in celebration of women. In an effort to foster mindful consumption habits, the brand maintains an open conversation about its approach and encourages consumers to reevaluate the relationship society has with clothing. The company continues to focus on sustainable materials, processes, and production in order to improve and extend each garment’s life, and is a vocal and active advocate in seeking racial and social justice for the sake of a more equitable society.

This is one of those really insightful and thoughtful conversations that don’t often get to take place when speaking about fashion, talking about everything from inclusive sizing to the issues of pricing and leading a business from the heart. We can’t wait to share it with you!

Merci to our sponsor Redmint!

Redmint weaves together the ancient wisdom of Traditional Chinese Medicine with modern innovations to create powerful health rituals that form well rounded selfcare routines. They understand the crucial connection between skin health and internal health, which is why they created exceptional skincare and bodycare collections that are infused with potent botanicals that are well known in ancient herbology Traditional Chinese Medicine books.

Redmint was founded by Helina Fan, a doctor of TCM, who struggled with health issues for years before turning to a more holistic solution. Through this she discovered the power of Traditional Chinese Medicine, acupuncture, herbal medicine, and skincare topicals. For our lucky listeners in Northern Californian, Redmint has beautiful spas in San Francisco, that are truly urban sanctuaries. Somewhere you can retreat to for a well rounded approach to wellbeing, from facials to acupuncture to bodywork to their herbal bar, where they have all sorts of herbal elixirs.
