Jademan Baker is a Brooklyn-based fashion designer,  SCAD graduate, and founder of the sustainable fashion brand LOM + MOY (Less Of Me and More Of You.) Her work centers around sustainable, eco-conscious fashion and creating fresh dialogues around the Bible. 

“Being black. Being a woman. Being a follower of Jesus and being a friend, I have always been in search of my voice. A voice that is honest, empathetic, and loving… one that is clear, that unites, and that inspires change,” Baker said. 

The brand will operate through a rental business model, allowing customers to lease elevated special-occasion pieces made with recycled materials and eco-friendly fabric. Baker hopes that the rental structure will serve as a model for conscious, sustainable clothing lines. 

Hunter’s Fund will help Jade fund a website and photoshoot for her brand’s first collection. “My goal is to merge faith and fashion by designing for the modern-day Eve and hopefully expanding the brand to one day, design for the modern-day Adam as well.”
