DESCRIPTION
TITLE: The Huri Movement
CONCEPT: Huri is a movement that welcomes us to jump into our individuality, celebrate our differences, and do this responsibly through sustainable fashion.
Huri is a movement that welcomes us to jump into our individuality, celebrate our differences, and do this responsibly through sustainable fashion.
Within sustainability, we noticed a lack of representation, active inclusion, and leadership from BIPOC communities (Black, Indigenous, People of Color).
Overall, our aim is to bring the great work that marginalized communities do within the Sustainability sector into the spotlight using many mediums (fashion is one of them).
Creating a space for BIPOC in Sustainability has and will always be the driving force behind our inclusive movement.
