-Be eco-friendly, cutting waste, using non-harmful dyes and chemicals and sourcing fabrics and components locally
-Use non-animal fabrics, no fur or leather or any other animal products with the exception of wools where the animal is shaved for it\'s fur and not killed
-Use realistic sizes (8-10) rather than model sizes to promote good body image and create clothes for real customers with real sizes
-See fashion as a craft not an indulgence, creating lasting beauty which will be handed down through generations not worn for a season and thrown away, and approach every garment as a piece of art
