LAmade X Sorah Yang
Here at LAmade, we always aspire to inspire.
So naturally, when we decided to search for someone to do a collaboration with, we knew they had to possess all of our core values.
That's when Sorah Yang came to mind. A business school graduate turned professional dancer, Sorah is the true definition of a dreamer. Her determination in changing her path led her to become successful in doing what she loves while staying true to herself.
Luckily for us, Sorah was looking to work with a company that realizes the importance of ethically made clothing. When she began researching other clothing manufacturers, she noticed the huge disconnect between garment workers and the people who wear their creations. Most fashion consumers don’t know much about the company who makes their clothing, the amount of care each garment requires, or how many hands it passes through. Most companies give vague information about the environment and working conditions on their factory floor. LAmade and Sorah wants to be fully transparent about the process of how clothes are made in our family owned factory, which is why Sorah decided to create a behind the scenes video for our collab line, Sorah X LAmade (shown below)
After months of planning, we worked together to produce garments that are 100 % Sorah's vision. Each piece she designed was carefully thought out and perfected through several sketch/fabric meetings and fittings with the LAmade team. The process of creating a high quality garment takes time, and Sorah’s integrity really shined when it came to working with us to ensure that all of the pieces were like a work of art.
The biggest outcome of this collaboration: true joy that comes from doing what we believe in with like minded people. We loved working with Sorah, and are thrilled with how her collection turned out - and we're positive you will be too.
