Stems, Styled.
My love letter to supply-chains. To aesthetics and ethics.
To celebrating the symbiotic relationships and perfectly imperfect entanglements between man and nature.
It’s my talk walked. My Conscious Code. My NON-NEGOTIABLES.
Magic brought to life.
Considered, but realistic, this means NO plastic, sans an impossible alternative. Traceable supply chains. NO Amazon.
And with the exception of flowers (for now), linen and a few other odds and ends, American-Made.
Especially where it counts.
The brands, people, makers, farmers, consumers, clients… ALL who believe in something BIGGER than us all.
Thank you!
Xoxo
BTW: Beyond flowers, wondering what this means/looks like for your closet?! Yes? No? Well, from the cotton fields to the store, my top and jeans are 100% American Grown and Made. Yeehaw!
