“Jordan and I are grateful to be recognized for this work,” said Reilly. “As this award is determined by my peers, it is high praise. We are in debt to Micah Kamohoaliʻi<\/span> for lending his time and perspective on how to address some of the ills of the fashion industry, like waste and sustainability.”<\/p>\n
