About

Aloha! I’m Joana Kuznetsova, a fashion model with a passion for elegant and timeless style. Born and raised on island of Honolulu, Hawai’i, I’ve always been inspired by the vibrant colors and natural beauty of my surroundings. Over the years, my modeling career has taken me to the fashion hubs of LA and NYC, where I’ve had the privilege of working with some incredible local brands and gaining a deeper appreciation for the global fashion scene.

But while fashion has always been a major part of my life, my love for nature has led me down an unexpected path. Currently, I’m a student studying Botany at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa, diving deep into the world of plants and sustainability.

This blog is my creative space to share my journey through fashion, sustainability, and travel. I’ll be highlighting local fashion brands that reflect the spirit of the islands and support ethical practices. I’m passionate about sustainable fashion and will showcase how you can incorporate eco-friendly choices into your wardrobe without sacrificing style. Whether it’s thrift finds, sustainable brands, or tips for building a more conscious closet, this blog is all about embracing fashion that’s good for the planet.

Travel is also a huge part of my life and work. I love exploring new places and finding inspiration in every corner of the world. Through my travels, I aim to showcase how different cultures influence fashion and how we can learn from the world around us to create a more sustainable future.

Join me on this exciting journey where I blend fashion, sustainability, and my love for travel. I hope this blog not only inspires you to embrace your own unique style but also encourages you to think about how fashion can have a positive impact on the planet. Let’s make fashion that feels good, looks good, and does good.

Mahalo nui loa!
