Lights of All
Overview
Lights of All (LOA) is one of the most charming, unique, and wholly ethical brands I’ve come across in my research for Kind Valentine. And it’s all done by ONE woman, Katia Hagen, who even sews the clothes! LOA is a standout in every regard: the clothes are unusual and beautiful, ethics & sustainability are upheld to the utmost at every turn, a percentage of profits go to an animal sanctuary, and diversity is championed instead of the damaging & unrealistic ideals of the fashion industry. The whole brand is a great big breath of fresh air.
