An ethical current flows through Baby and Company and ripples through the designers that we carry.  Each one is carefully selected based on quality, morals, and their contribution to the larger narrative of sustainability. Our goal is to not only dress people in clothes they love but to encourage them to hold on to each item, rather than constantly seeking the new or trendy. Though many thoughtful companies hold themselves to the same moral standard, we watch as the environment is drowned by the world’s second-biggest polluter behind coal; fashion.                     Photo: Shutterstock The fast fashion industry centers on speed and low costs to bring about new collections inspired by celebrity and influencers....

“I believe that in the era we live in, environmentally, socially, and politically, it’s extremely important for the designer to consider the full lifecycle of their product.” Lilah Horwitz is talking about being a socially conscious company in the era of mindless consumption in the fashion industry, but could just as easily be discussing her own passion projects, or any of her other creative endeavors. The Parsons School of Design graduate, designer, and Creative Lead at RENEW is as passionate about fashion and design as she is about looking into the future of its sustainability. In her career, Lilah has already had her own small namesake line, selling at stores in New York for four years. She handmade each piece...

First introduced by the US Navy around the time of the Spanish American war, the t-shirt was used in a purely functional sense as an undergarment for soldiers’ uniforms. Still used pragmatically by soldiers and shoppers alike, the t-shirt has evolved from archetypical army garb into a garment more suited for everyday fashion, with some help along the way. The t-shirt was iconized by Marlon Brando and James Dean in two classic films of the 1950’s, A Streetcar Named Desire and Rebel Without a Cause. These films established the t-shirt as the unofficial uniform of the working class, further solidified over the next few decades by other blue-collar icons like rock star Bruce Springsteen. In the 60’s and 70’s, the t-shirt...

Tell me about your evolution. How did you get started in the floral business? My mom would say that I started my floral career at the stubborn age of three when I picked up my first marguerite daisy. It was coming up through a crack in the sidewalk on a hot, sunny day in LA and I had to have it. It was all mine. My very first job in the ninth grade was in a flower shop and so it began. I’ve been around flowers ever since as a source of income and a creative outlet. I tried doing other things, but flowers kept calling me back into their seductive world. Moving to Seattle in 1994, I landed a...
