Mikaela Friedman is a visionary artist and fashion disruptor, redefining the boundaries of sustainable style from her Austin, Texas hub. Mikaela's true passion lies in revolutionizing the fashion industry through slow fashion - a movement that prioritizes quality over quantity, and sustainability over speed. In her studio, every material is lovingly upcycled and repurposed, sourcing materials from local rag houses in Texas to breathe new life into discarded treasures.

But Mikaela's vision doesn't stop there. She's now taken her passion for slow fashion to the next level with the launch of Shop Slow, a boutique revolutionizing the retail experience in Austin, Texas. This carefully curated collective of artisanal makers creates one-of-a-kind, custom apparel from recycled materials, ensuring every piece tells a story of sustainability and craftsmanship. From vintage fabrics to repurposed textiles, every material is thoughtfully sourced and transformed into unique, high-quality garments that defy fast fashion norms. With Shop Slow, Mikaela is empowering consumers to rethink their relationship with clothing, and embracing a future where style and sustainability go hand in hand.
