Angeline Hayling
As a Fashion Designer and Global Entrepreneur, the beauty of this journey is all the souls that I meet along the way. For me, it’s the women artisans that I get to work with and giving back to her dreams, through fair wages and transparency. Whether it’s a small production mill in Bali that handcrafts our dresses, a rugged little Hat Mill in Tulum, or workers at the Historic Garment District in NYC.
My love for design and entrepreneurship has immensely been inspired by global travels. I’ve sourced fabrics in the buzzing markets of Mumbai, hand-selected trims in the streets of Nairobi and hiked the cobbled streets of Valladolid searching for fabrics.
I’m extremely passionate about the design process. I’m always glued in from the inspiration stages, pattern cutting, to the first fitting after the final stitch. Travel has strengthened my empathy towards others and respect for culture. If we can’t see “eye to eye, let’s try heart to heart’. I’ve learned that even in distress, kindness, empathy and a smile, can diffuse most conflicts. Through these global experiences, I’m inspired to design for the woman who loves travel, nature, and to empower her to live mindfully.
