Monica Little takes the spotlight at the 1st Annual California Sustainable Fashion Week Awards.
The event's inaugural awards ceremony honored standout contributors who are pushing the industry toward a greener future. Monica Little took the event "by the horns," as her bold vision and commitment resonated powerfully with judges, attendees, and the broader sustainable fashion community.
Her spotlight moment likely stemmed from a standout collection or specific achievement—perhaps an innovative use of upcycled materials, a zero-waste runway presentation, or designs that beautifully blend California-inspired aesthetics (think breezy, ocean-influenced silhouettes) with planet-positive principles. Monica's work exemplifies how small brands can drive meaningful change, proving that sustainability doesn't mean sacrificing elegance or individuality.
Monica Little stole the spotlight at the 1st Annual California Sustainable Fashion Week Awards in 2026, emerging as a shining example of innovation, dedication, and eco-conscious creativity in the fashion industry.
Born and raised in the sunny coastal city of San Diego, California, Monica has deep roots in the Golden State, where her passion for both fashion and environmental stewardship was nurtured from an early age. Coming from a family with a rich background in fashion—perhaps through generations of tailors, designers, or textile enthusiasts—she naturally gravitated toward the creative world. Five years ago, she channeled that heritage into her own venture: Moni Fashion, a small, independent sustainable fashion brand that prioritizes ethical production, eco-friendly materials, and timeless designs.
Moni Fashion focuses on creating pieces that minimize environmental impact while maximizing style and wearability. The brand incorporates sustainable practices such as using organic fabrics, recycled textiles, low-waste cutting techniques, and non-toxic dyes, all while crafting garments that appeal to conscious consumers seeking quality over quantity. In 2026, California Sustainable Fashion Week made its debut as a premier platform celebrating eco-conscious innovation, bringing together designers, brands, and advocates to showcase cutting-edge sustainable fashion.
Twilla Bracey – The Eco-Conscious Trailblazer: From Milton, Florida to Brand Ambassador, Magazine Cover, and Potential Thread Rebels Series
"From Gulf Coast Waves to Sustainable Runway Stardom: Twilla Bracey's Rise with California Sustainable Fashion Week and Exotic Fashion TV"
Twilla Bracey is a radiant, eco-conscious designer and model from the quiet town of Milton, Florida, on the Gulf Coast. Growing up inspired by the natural beauty of the water, salt air, and coastal environment, she has always believed that beauty can be both powerful and gentle, perfectly aligning with the principles of sustainable fashion.
Her entry into the fashion industry accelerated when she started with Glam Forge—a virtual booking platform and digital comp card creator—about six months ago. This paved the way for her to participate in an open casting call hosted by California Sustainable Fashion Week-Mobile (CSFWM), drawing talent passionate about planet-friendly style. Out of 35 hopefuls, only five were chosen, and Twilla was among the top three to secure a full editorial feature in Exotic Fashion Magazine's monumental 20th anniversary special edition, focused entirely on the future of eco-friendly fashion. Photographed in ethereal, ocean-inspired ensembles crafted from upcycled silks, ocean-plastic sequins, and plant-dyed linens, her spread blended coastal serenity with high-fashion edge, ultimately landing her the cover spot and marking her dazzling debut in the industry.
