"Thorn and Bloom" by Ursula Quinn Yarrow: The unlikely next generation of fashion storytellers 🌹✨

In a time long ago, in the dimmest alley of a long-forgotten city, a little girl by the name of Ursula Quinn Yarrow had an idea about fabrics that could help the world. In delightfully taciturn circumstances, her mother was a single parent working three jobs to keep the lights on. Ursula quickly learned that life was not fair. With callous hands, stitching cheap fabrics into garments for fast fashion giants, her mother would tuck her in at night while telling her, "One day, you will fix the industry this is." 💔

At age 16, she was a temp secretary by day and a fashion school dropout at night. The male executives leered underneath her pencil skirt, but she sharpened her wit and her pencil like a stiletto heel while arguing, "You can look, but I'm the one who will own this building." Behind her tiny desk, Ursula would dabble designing on every napkin she could find, developing eco-friendly lace using recycled plastic, corsets that empowered not constricted, and other modes of self-expression. 🌿🔥

Then the fire happened. Literally. Destruction from a fire at her apartment resulted in the loss of every single scrap of fabric, every ambition, and every dream. Homeless and heartbroken, she slept in a small storage closet at fashion school and washed herself in public bathrooms. But fate had a twist. A viral TikTok of Ursula's "dumpster-dived couture"—a gown made from coffee filters discarded by cafes in her neighborhood—caught the eye of a sustainability mogul. The rest is history. 📿💋

Today, (in case you haven't heard of her) Ursula Quinn Yarrow is not just a Sustainable Fashion Designer but a revolution. With her brand—Thorn and Bloom (don't ask her about the name)—a client list including A-list celebs in guilt-free sustainable glamour (her motto is "Sexy isn't selfish, it's sustainable."), and having transformed boardrooms to red-carpets into a new way of communicating in shameless women's, she is a razor-sharp rose who bust through the glass ceiling and pulled the Earth with her 🌎👠

PS: Still that secretary down to the core. Your agenda? Let's save the world."*
