MELVILLE, New York Since the age of 16, Amanda Munz immersed herself into the world of fashion with her schooling and prestigious internships.
However, when it came time for her to graduate, she had an epiphany at one of her internships that she wanted to create a non-profit, in the fashion industry.
With her experience, she started to notice that there was a lot of waste with designers over-producing products that weren t being used.
Munz wanted to create a sustainable use for the designer s clothes and sell these products for a discounted price for anyone to buy. We overproduce in fashion, there is always extra merchandise no matter what company you go to, said Munz. Samples are laying around their showrooms that nobody knows what to do with.
