EMPIRE Studios -CA 2024
A message from our Designer:
At my recent speaking engagement at EMPIRE Studios, represented by PELEST, I had the opportunity to share the heart of our brand mission and address the profound challenges we are facing due to the situation in Gaza. Our brand has endured tremendous losses—not just financially, but in losing members of our team, including talented embroiderers and fashion creators who have been directly impacted by the devastation.
We've also had several projects canceled due to our stance on Gaza, but we continue to stand strong. We are one of millions whose lives and work have been affected, and it's crucial to raise awareness about these realities. Through this event, I aimed to highlight not only our struggles but the collective resilience of our community as we navigate these difficult times.
