While developing concepts for her “Love the Earth” Capstone Project, Allie created Emerald Brand Fashions to fund her passion. Allie’s “Love the Earth” mission is to preserve the environment for future generations and educate others on ways they can make a difference.
While doing research on ways to reduce the wasteful use of our natural resources she discovered the many benefit’s (www.blackorchidfashion.com/advantage.html) of bamboo. Now, as part of Allie’s mission she wants to help educate people on the benefits of bamboo fiber for clothing as well as promoting sustainability, saving the earth, and ways we can all reduce our carbon footprint.
