It’s not often that we get to watch someone grow up in the spotlight and truly get to watch and support them step by step as they navigate their individuality and learn life’s lessons. No path is linear, but the more we listen, understand, and encourage each other, the better our relationships in this increasingly connected world can be. When you are a public figure, like Olivia Jade, the noise can be louder and news travels even faster.

To kick off Volume I. of House of Perez, we’ve decided to feature Anastasia Vakula, as this first special issue is based on sustainability. Many know Vakula to appear in magazines such as L’officiel, Elle, Martha Stewart and The Knot, and you might notice that a fair amount of her social media content focuses on environmental issues. As a model with a substantial following, Vakula is in a unique position to do some good for planet health. With this being stated, we sat down and had a conversation with Vakula on her take on sustainable fashion and how you can still look and feel your best by rocking sustainability from head to toe.
