Aysia Wright

By the time she was a teenager, Aysia Wright was already an environmental crusader. During high school, she initiated a community-wide recycling program and worked part-time at one of the original mainstream eco-centric retailers, The Body Shop. Throughout college, Aysia remained committed to her ideals, earning a BA in Environmental Science at San Diego State followed by an environmental law and policy-focused degree at the University of Virginia. Afterward, Aysia changed directions a bit. She got married and worked as an estate attorney, but soon wondered where her ‘green’ self had gone. So in 2004, Aysia opened Greenloop, one of the nation’s first fashion retailers to balance ethical considerations with serious style. Much to Aysia’s delight, Greenloop’s success has been proof positive that style and sustainable living are not mutually exclusive.

“I really think fashion is influential and, as such, it’s a powerful vehicle for education and change. It’s an easy way to spread a message without getting people on the defensive. Overall, it’s not about being perfectly green or perfectly fashionable-I am certainly neither…It’s just about taking steps in the right direction to live a more sustainable life.”
