Name & Occupation: Tania Ali, CEO and Founder of Cadre Style.
Location: LA & NYC
Your style in one word: Fresh
Favorite eco-loving clothing brand: All our brands. They are all stylish, fit is as amazing and the quality is incredible. Every time I put something on I fall even more in love with our brands.
Favorite eco-loving beauty brand: Ilia at the moment. Each product exceeds my expectations and keeps toxins out of my body.
Secret to “less is more”: Keeping it simple with accessories. I like to get a pair of earrings that will go with all my looks and pair it with a simple necklace. I am not a watch person and I tend to wear my hair down so that takes out two accessories.
Making old feel new by: Changing the shoes with the outfit. Shoes can take any look from day to night, from warm to cold weather, and from old to new. There is so much you can do by changing your shoes.
Sustainability Hero: There are so many amazing designers doing increadable things in the space. if I had to pick one I would say Stella McCartney. She is a trailblazer in the space, shedding light on these issues decades before sustainability became a buzz word.
