In the heart of Vancouver, two kindred spirits, Mars and Khushi, found themselves bound by a shared passion for fashion and a deep-rooted commitment to environmental stewardship. Their friendship blossomed amidst conversations about the beauty of sustainable living and the desire to create a positive impact in the world. As they explored the streets of their city, they couldn’t help but notice the paradoxical nature of the fashion industry – a realm of creativity and self-expression, yet plagued by environmental degradation and waste. Determined to be the change they wished to see, Mars, an Environmental Economist with a penchant for project coordination, and Khushi, a stylist and content creator with a knack for storytelling, embarked on a journey to revolutionize the fashion landscape.

Their vision was simple yet profound: to transform the way people perceive and interact with fashion, shifting the paradigm from fast and disposable to sustainable and meaningful. Inspired by their own experiences navigating immigration barriers and financial insecurities, Mars and Khushi recognized the power of secondhand clothing not only as a practical solution but also as a form of self-expression and empowerment. With this in mind, they envisioned DreamStill – an organization dedicated to breathing new life into old textiles, fostering a community of conscious consumers, and championing the beauty of sustainable fashion.

As Mars and Khushi poured their hearts and souls into DreamStill, they were fueled by a shared sense of purpose and a belief in the transformative power of collective action. Together, they embarked on a mission to redefine beauty, challenge industry norms, and inspire others to embrace a more sustainable way of living. With every step they took, they knew they were not just creating a brand – they were igniting a movement, one rooted in hope, compassion, and the unwavering belief that a better world is possible.
