BEHIND THE BRAND
My name is Sadie and I am a Brighton based stylist/designer and mother of 4. Estrella is my new brand of ethically produced, Fair Trade, organic cotton slogan sweatshirts and t-shirts with a feminist twist. All items are hand printed in Brighton.
My first range, “ni santas, ni putas, solo mujeres” was inspired by my travels across South and Central America with my mother and brother as a teenager. This iconic feminist phrase translates as “neither saints, nor whores, only women”, this challenges the Madonna-Whore complex which plagues the macho culture that feeds sexual and domestic violence against women across the globe.
This seasons range also includes the "Sisterhood" and "La Paix" slogans.
A cause I am supporting closer to home is the Brighton women's charity RISE. RISE grew from the women's movement and evolved to meet local need. RISE stands for Refuge, Information, Support and Education. Every year they support more than 2,500 women and children across Brighton and Hove. 10% of all sales goes to RISE.
