4march is a Cambridge-based luxury
women's wear design firm. Fusing style with global
consciousness, 4march is a high-purpose clothing
line dedicated to social responsibility. It is
the designer's hope to challenge mainstream fashion
design, seeking to create timeless clothing that
abandons trend and finds its inspiration in various
natural, cultural and artistic forms. Inspired by her mother and grandmother, owner Amy Özay began sewing for the sheer joy of it at a very young age. After receiving a Bachelor's Degree in Fine Arts and Psychology, she followed her tactile nature and creative mind to the School of Fashion Design in Boston. With a love of design and the process of making clothing, but a wariness of the fashion industry, the line she has created represents an attempt to redefine fashion in her own terms.
4march believes strongly that being environmentally and socially responsible in all aspects of their work is a necessity. This is most evident in their commitment to using only organic and sustainable fabrics for their collections. Some of the fabrics they currently use are:
Organic
Cotton
Hemp
Tencel
Bamboo

Tussah Silk ("Peace Silk")
