We Are Expanding Our Resources
BLACK PEARL is building a comprehensive database of fashion brands and companies, based on criteria which aligns with the cultural sustainability framework of in the pioneering Sustainable Style Guide for Everyone, a free educational resource for sustainable fashion, designed for all who wear clothes, providing knowledge, challenges, and solutions that transcend age, race, gender, disability, geography, disposable income, values, and beliefs.
We want to include brands and companies, and are asking our community to recommend the ones who fit the criteria! We aim to profile brands across a diverse spectrum, ensuring that all voices are fairly included.
Who Does This Include?
We are looking for brands that embody Cultural Representation through traditional techniques like embroidery and beadwork, prioritizing cultural appreciation. This includes those aligning with Brands Creating Intentionally and Responsibly, reflecting diverse identities from African American to East Asian, Hispanic, Indigenous, and South Asian communities.
We seek brands that address Diverse Body Needs with adaptive clothing and inclusive sizing. Additionally, we are interested in those championing Circular Fashion through second-hand and upcycled items, emphasizing Sustainable Textiles made from natural materials, and committing to Safe Fashion practices that eliminate toxic chemicals.
Brands that stand for Ethics and Transparency, ensuring fairtrade and supply chain traceability while focusing on Quality, Slow Fashion principles, are also a priority. Lastly, we look for brands that embody Spirituality and Faith-Based Values, promoting modesty and ethical practices in their designs.
Our Mission
We invite you to help us to spotlight clothing solutions for varying disposable incomes, lifestyles, occupations, across genders, and more. We believe that if we can expand the understanding of Cultural Sustainability to include the creatives we know are doing the work around the globe, we can help more citizens see themselves in the conversation, and direct their resources to meaningful impact, in stores and
in conversation.
