Fiercely artistic with a bohemian edge and an affinity for a beauty that is universal, Mara Hoffman’s collections and presentation always make us pause in admiration. When bigger labels seem to stumble with their representations of global style, especially when it pertains to women of color, Mara Hoffman hits the right notes year after. In  2012 we want to believe that in showcasing beauty and style the color and ethnicity of models should be as broad as there are countries and cultures. The world we live in is widely diverse and in these parts we love our fashion to do everything it can to reflect that. See the complete look book on the flip and check out Mara Hoffman’s new and improved website here.
