Road To Sustainability
Belania Daley is the Owner and Creator of BCD Planet. Project Runway Season 21 contestant and has 10+ years of corporate fashion Technical Designer experience. She was inspired to create the "Road To Sustainability" collection because she did not see any other black women fashion designers making an effort to create consciously and maintain classic, durable, chic aspects of design. This work will stand as a landmark collection to promote sustainability in fashion. We will use recycled/natural fabrics, classic chic durable styles to live in your wardrobe through all seasons, and create all garments with purpose driven functionality. We will manufacture styles during the spring and autumn seasons to minimize our carbon foot print.
In the future we want to be a fully zero waste clothing company, meaning we re-purpose all of our waste into modern home goods, create in house fabrics, and donate what we can not use. Also we want to be one of the first clothing bands that feature a recycle symbol on our labels so we keep our promise to always promote sustainability in fashion.
As we grow and learn more about the fashion industry environmental impact, our aim is to be a conscious lifestyle brand that practices sustainable production.
So since emerging in 2018, it's been hard to carry the narrative of fashion design practices destroying the environment. Making clothes that have the classic, durability, chic, aspects of design without compromise is our promise.
For the past 6 years BCD Planet has been working hard not to become another "fast fashion" label. We aim to provide information to the consumers about quality garments and sustainability in fashion.
Currently, we use surplus or vintage fabrics to create our one of a kind day time or cocktail looks. We create opportunities to learn about up-cycling to combine or re-purpose your wardrobe, how to dispose of unwanted clothes, and garment restoration services.
