As a sustainable brand, The Citizen-T Project is a shining example of how fashion can be trendy and sustainable. The project was born out of the COVID-19 pandemic when founder Stephanie Dillon realized the potential of turning vintage T-shirts inside out to create a new canvas for art. The project has since evolved to develop custom-designed T-shirts using pre-owned clothing from certified vintage clothing centers, thus promoting sustainable fashion practices. Citizen-T is committed to driving change in the industry by creating stylish, high-quality clothing that's also good for the planet. From using eco-friendly materials to investing in ethical production practices, they’re setting a new standard for sustainable fashion.

On a mission to create a brighter future for fashion, their approach is twofold: using environmentally friendly materials and manufacturing processes and supporting fair labor practices. The brand's name, Citizen-T, represents their belief that everyone has a responsibility to be a good citizen of the planet, and that starts with the choices we make about what we wear. By prioritizing sustainability and ethics, The Citizen-T Project sets an example for the fashion industry and challenges consumers to make more mindful decisions about clothing purchases. As a sponsor for Fashion Week Minnesota, The Citizen-T Project is using its platform to raise awareness about the impact of our clothing choices.
The Citizen-T Project has faced challenges in promoting sustainable fashion, as many consumers prioritize affordability over sustainability. However, the project seeks to remind consumers that reusing clothing is a powerful stance to reclaim fashion culture. The project has also inspired other brands to adopt more sustainable practices and encourages designers to think outside the box and come up with new and innovative ways to create clothing.
