For this week’s Lookbook Friday I am happy to introduce you to a new line of sustainable tees from an up and coming company called Kestan. Kestan was launched by Stephanie the blogger behind the blog Sartorial Diner. I met Stephanie a number of years ago and it has been so exciting to watch as her career takes off. In the past I have collaborated with Stephanie, and even produced a photo shoot for her lookbook line sheets for her graduating final project. I had a wonderful time working with her and it does not surprise me she is going after her dream and finding success.
After graduating from Parsons with a degree in fashion design Stephanie headed off to Germany to work for Esprit She was one of a handful of graduates chosen by the company to help them relaunch their brand in the United States. And I happily followed her on her journey as she ate her way through Europe documenting all her favorite watering holes on Sartorial Diner.
Don’t you love when people follow their dreams and commit to making the world a better place?
Since completing her tenure with Esprit Stephanie has returned to the states where she now lives in the sunny city of Los Angeles. Inspired by her time at Esprit Stephanie decided to go for it and launch her own line of clothing. Her latest offering —a line of sustainable organic cotton tees are not only super cute and fashion forward, they are also good for the environment and are made right here in the U.S. Don’t you love when people follow their dreams and commit to making the world a better place? I am just happy to say I played a small part in Stephanie’s bigger story.
