The Dalia MacPhee brand is a 95% vegan
brand. How important is sustainability to you
and your brand, and is it challenging to find
textiles and materials that suit your creed?
It’s very important! The world is finally starting
to demand sustainability and animal rights,
and it is much less challenging now to find
compatible fabrics now than it was when I
started out.

In my research, I heard a lady describe your
fashion brand as an “every woman” brand.
Being that you design pieces for women up to
a size 24, unlike many designers, I concur with
her description. Will you comment on your
decision to carry sizes beyond what most other
designer brands carry?
Wow you really did do your research! Here’s
the thing: the task of the designer is to illuminate
the soul. We are here to create garments that
make the wearer feel so special, so empowered,
so beautiful that they can’t help but shine the
light inside, outside. Why would I want to
alienate certain women from this? My brand
is for all ages, sizes, ethnicities, and income
brackets.
