PS: Apart from practicing sustainability within your collections, how do you further apply that mentality just to your everyday life?
MH: I have the luxury of an entire clothing brand, so I don't need to go out and buy myself clothing. I am a huge vintage fan, so if I am going for other things, I love vintage. [As for] my lifestyle, I am big fan of the metro north. I live in deep harmony in nature, that's really essential. Also, the planetary rebalance, I believe, is re-forming a relationship with nature.
I don't say that without recognizing the immense privilege I have to be in proximity to nature, because I get that isn't just granted to every human being. Unfortunately, it's something that is associated with some level of privilege, to be able to hang out with trees. It should be our birthright as human beings to be in connectedness. If we had built our systems and our society more equitable, and not the way that we have, our planet would be also in a very different situation.
