25 Fashion-Focused Social Entrepreneurs

Get to Know the Founders and CEOs of Top Businesses

Get a little bit of that inside information from these fashion-focused social entrepreneurs. Okay, okay, they may not be Anna Wintour or Anna Dello Russo but believe it, they're changing the game.

These Social Business interviews get to know the deep and dark secrets -- okay, maybe they're not that secret -- of the founders and CEOS of social businesses working across the globe. Here, they talk about how they founded their businesses as fashion-focused social entrepreneurs and also expand on their personal inspirations and creative rituals throughout the day and some even talk about their precious weekends.

What they have in common, however, is focus on fashion in the industry sense as well as a social mission. Some of these social entrepreneurs even put a new twist on the triple bottom line.
