Five years ago, Grant Blvd was founded—not just as a company, but as a radical movement, using fashion as a social statement and a means to improve the situations of women in our community. Since our founding, we have created thousands of hours of living-wage work for women who have been negatively affected by the carceral system or unhoused. Our goal in creating these jobs is to disrupt the cycles of poverty to which these women have often been subjected.
We are spending more time than ever before at home right now. We now regularly work and socialize from the comfort of our own couch. Owing to ever-expanding technology. This means that what we define as luxury is changing.
As a company dedicated to creating ethical employment opportunities for women negatively affected by the carceral system in America, Grant Blvd is excited to be starting a new fellowship program: Fashion the Future Forward.
This March, as we celebrate Women’s History Month and all the amazing contributions women have made to the world, we cannot forget the women who make our clothes.
