Giving Back

Our driven purpose behind our brand is to always give back with what we have been blessed with. It has always been on the desires for Shawna's heart to support as many missions as possible with our brand. Below are a few of the organizations we are partnering with to provide funding from sales of our gowns to give back to those in need, young creatives in fashion, and fighting for justice for rights in the industry. We also have founded our own organization called Grace the Runway that donates princesses dresses to young girls in hospitals while hosting runways & photoshoots to inspire them and make them feel magical!

God put that desire on your heart to feed the hungry, provide shelter for the wanderer, & clothe those in need.

Matthew 25: 34-36

Our Partners

Grace the Runway Foundation

Grace the Runway was founded by our own designer to give back to young girls who are are in hospitals to bring their princess dreams to life. We collect any old prom, flower girl, and princess dresses that you no longer need to be donated to girls. We then host small runways or photoshoots when delivering these dresses so that each of the girls can feel magical. We aim to make these moments special and create memories for girls despite circumstances. We wanted to help bring these girls dreams to life because every girl deserves to feel like a princess at any moment not just on their wedding day!

A Girl You Might Know Foundation

AGYKM aims to raise awareness about the potential dangers of non-compete clauses, risks associated with vague contracts, and the importance of implementing thoughtful legislation in the creative design world. They provide access to affordable or pro bono legal services, negotiation curriculum, education on relevant case law, and experience-based content. AGYMK believes that by equipping young women and creatives with the necessary legal knowledge, they can help level the field when it comes to negotiating with business partners, investors, or employers.

The purpose of the CHC project is to create an environment that promotes the human rights of orphans, semi-orphans and street children by providing them with access to basic human necessities.

Child Hope will also empower these vulnerable groups with adaptive livelihood skills that will enable them to be self-resilient in the long term. A portion of sales will be donated to CHC to help clothe, get school, and provide shelter to the children of Zimbabwe.

The Gabrielle Gown

The Gabrielle Gown in our Essentials collection was designed by a young creative that our designer, Shawna, has mentored. Shawna decided she wanted to help inspire the mind of younger creatives that are interested in design, and did just that with the Gabrielle Gown. With what started as a sketch Gabrielle's designed; Shawna then took that rendering and had it produced. This gown is now part of our bridal collection that is available for purchase or order, with the sales from this gown being donated to a college fund for Gabrielle's design future ahead!
