It was an honour to welcome Ten Years Forward: Celebrating a Decade of Women in Sustainable Business at the SDG Media Zone during UNGA.

For a decade, Women in Sustainable Business, led by Dana Davis, has brought together a community of women committed to advancing positive, lasting environmental and social change through their work.

This anniversary was an opportunity to celebrate not only ten years of progress, but the relationships, ideas, collaborations, and collective impact that have grown from this community.

On a personal level, the evening also felt like a reunion, bringing together so many women I have had the privilege of working alongside and friendships created over the past decade. It was special to reflect on how much has evolved, both individually and collectively, over those years.

Congratulations to the Women in Sustainable Business community on ten years, and to the many women whose work has shaped its journey. Here is to the decade ahead! taken in New York, New York by @danadition

What does it take to dismantle a 24-year-old fashion brand? 🤯

After years of pioneering and pivoting inside an industry in need of a lot of change, Mara Hoffman and Dana Davis followed the internal whispers that the wildly successful label had to come to an end.

What led to this decision?

What courage was these actions build upon?

And what role did trusting partnership play in allowing it all to unfold?

Tune into episode 115 of Hey Change Podcast to hear the duo’s incredible story and the arch of friendship that was the backbone of it all!

For Mara Hoffman, fashion is about beauty, but not “beauty at all costs”. When she learned about the polluting truth behind the fashion industry, she set herself out on a mission to become part of the change.

In 2017, she was recognized as a sustainable designer, following a complete overhaul of her business model in 2015, to focus on ethical production and eco-friendly materials.

However, the biggest “Say what?” moments of Mara Hoffman came in 2024 when she publicly announced that the 24-year-old label was coming to an end.

“I don’t want to have to tell people to buy more. I saw so much of my artistry going towards telling you to buy something you don’t need. Where is the win in this? Where is the fucking win?” 

— Mara Hoffman on Hey Change Podcast

Learn the story about what could be the boldest move in fashion history, what it means to make space for an “inbreathe”, and what it truly means to trust what wants to unfold.

This is a beautiful conversation between two friends who, more than anything, are architects of change!

Tune in on now YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcast, or wherever you listen to shows! 🎧
