What does fashion mean to you?

What’s your motto in life, or a quote that keeps you going?
“There is peaceful. There is wild. I am both at the same time”. - Nayyirah Waheed!
What is the one thing you are proud of yourself?
I built my business on my own for many years, and I've never given up even through the hardest times. But more substantially, I am proud that I have done so with integrity - that I put people before profit and therefore my business is not only strong through design and sales, but through community and purpose.
What are the things that are essential to your lifestyle?
What is important to you, what do you love?
I love the beautiful simple things in this world. I cannot spend all my time working or looking at fashion. I need to host dinners or go camping. I need to put my feet in the earth or be near the water or cook for people I love. And I love my sweet dog Juaco so much, my little sidekick.
What would you like to challenge or try in the future?
I would like people to be kinder, to think about the earth and our role in it. To think about sustainability and social justice. I would like to challenge that there is always more we can do - more we can learn about people who are different than ourselves - and try harder to be kinder to the planet.

FASHION DESIGNER for Maria McManus

“How we dress is an important part of self expression and provides a daily outlet of creativity.”

What does fashion mean to you?
How we dress is an important part of self expression and provides a daily outlet of creativity. Although we live in a global world, I am fascinated by our way of identifying with a particular “tribe” or “community” through dress. Nothing makes me happier than meeting a bunch of ladies who have incredible individual style.

In our quest to live more sustainable lives, we need to be even more creative with fashion, how to update what we already own, and be thoughtful about our next purchases to reduce our negative impact on the planet.
What’s your motto in life, or a quote that keeps you going?
Be kind!
What is the one thing you are proud of yourself?
My daughters. They are kind, brave, spirited, creative.
What are the things that are essential to your lifestyle?
What is important to you, what do you love?
My beach house in Montauk keeps me grounded. Life in NY can be hectic, but at the beach we spend time with family and friends in nature; hike, cook, surf, garden - live a more simple lifestyle.
What would you like to challenge or try in the future?
My greatest challenge is to live a more sustainable life and encourage others to do the same. Small choices can make a considerable impact - ride a bike rather than a taxi, ask your local restaurant to use biodegradable packaging rather than plastic take out containers, eat locally, eat in season, compost, bring a reusable bottle or cup, support small businesses, divest in fossil fuels.
