This Lotus Magazine series celebrates sustainable clothing and the local makers behind it. Shot throughout Southern California, these images turn sidewalks into catwalks and everyday style into a statement of values. From secondhand finds to handmade jewelry, every outfit resists fast fashion in favor of something more rooted: memory, material, meaning. It’s not just fashion, it’s a story about where our clothes come from, who they touch, and how they shape the way we move through the world.
