Highly discontent with the scarcity of wardrobe options for working women, Cynthia Salim<\/strong><\/a> founded Citizen\u2019s Mark centered on just one product- the blazer. Salim felt that the blazer is a workplace staple that when adorned by women, measured up to men\u2019s options. Touting the ability of this garb to add instant gravitas to any outfit, she wanted to create an ensemble that would elevate women throughout their careers and help them grow. By committing to a sustainable business model, she labored to set a new precedent in the fashion industry.<\/p>\n

Sarah LaFleur<\/strong><\/a> veered from her career in the male-dominated realm of private equity, when she decided to abridge the chasm she noticed between function and fashion in professional clothing for women. She envisaged a line of jackets, skirts, and dresses that would enable women to express their individuality in the workplace, instead of being shrouded in the sea of ill-fitting pantsuit clad women. Her brand MM. LaFleur hopes to dress women for professional success. This translates into outfits that help women succeed in all facets of lives.<\/p>\n

After visiting the Al Baqaa refugee camp in Jordan, Zeina<\/strong><\/a> combined her love for her country women and fashion design, and collaborated with her brother to start the fashion brand Palestyle.  Zeina was deeply affected by the deplorable living conditions she saw in the camp, and saddened by the fact that those women couldn\u2019t find decent jobs despite being qualified. Zeina\u2019s social luxury fashion label has worked towards empowering more than 400 Palestinian women within the refugee camps of Palestine, Lebanon, and Jordon so far, by giving them jobs within her company and a percentage of sales to help them get back on their feet.<\/p>\n
