When you closed your brand, it shook the industry to its core. It made everyone finally face the question of “is sustainability possible on the fashion industry?”

I am excited to read more about your thoughts and projects.

If there is anything I can ever do to help, let me know!

I always feel proud to share where my swimsuits/outfits came from. Life throws whirlwinds our way, but it’s how we show up—full of life and humanity—that matters. Excited to see how this unfolds!

So sorry for the loss of your father. I remember your letter. I married in April 2024 in one of your dresses and you featured me in an email. ❤️ A million years ago I became obsessed with a Mara Hoffman jaguar 🐆 shirt dress. I’m still on a mission to find one second hand! During the sale I purchased a black off the shoulder dress to wear on my 40th in NYC. Isn’t it amazing how clothing can touch our lives and connect us to a designer we’ll likely never know? Design is special in that way. One persons work becomes key to our memories.

Thank you for sharing your story. And I loved the Tarot deck with Pamela Love.

Oh Mara, your timing is always so powerful. I am about to surrender to a huge change with my business of 14 years and also redirecting creativity and energy to a new Substack project. Your words on surrender truly resonate. I think about your Cutting Room Floor interview “Change or Die” often too.

So excited to hear more about how this past year has been for you. What a gift. Btw: My wedding dress and baby shower dress are MH, amongst other treasures. 🤍
