Sustainable Style: Discovering LuxBoheme and In-House Designs

Sustainable Style: Discovering LuxBoheme & In-House Designs

At Columbus Fashion Academy, our commitment to the planet is just as strong as our commitment to our students. This philosophy comes to life in The Archive, our curated retail space where sustainability meets high-end artistry. Through LuxBoheme and In-House Designs—we experience stylish responsible fashion design choosing fashion for good.

"This is our love letter to vintage and handmade. We believe that the best garment is either handmade with love or pre-loved." 

In-House Designs: Where "Waste" Becomes "Wonder"

These pieces were either curated from minority groups in Brazil, or born right here in our Columbus studio. Using materials diverted from our donation stream, we transform "waste" into one-of-a-kind wearable art.

From upcycled denim jackets adorned with hand-painted details to accessories crafted from fabric scraps, these designs embody the "grit and grace" of our academy. When you wear anything luxboheme, you are wearing a tangible example of what happens when creativity meets environmental advocacy.

Fashion with a Conscience

Every purchase from The Archive supports the mission of Columbus Fashion Academy and our nonprofit of choice, The Fashion Community. It allows us to continue providing a tech-free, inclusive environment for youth to discover their own artistic freedom. Whether you are drawn to the bohemian spirit of our vintage finds or the bold innovation of our upcycled originals, you are helping us build a more equitable and sustainable world.

Do you know of someone who could benefit from our programs? Summer camps are almost sold out, but we have a few spots left (at the time we published this post). More details here.
