Sustenance Group teamed with fashion designer MYCHAEL KNIGHT, jewelry designer DENISE DISHAROON and guest style editor AMY FLURRY for a fabulous trunk show at Stanton Home Furnishings and Provenance Antiques to benefit NEST, a nonprofit organization that empowers female artists and artisans around the world. Using a unique combination of interest-free microfinance loans, mentoring from established designers, as well as a market in which to sell their crafts, Nest helps its loan recipients create successful small businesses. Nest instills pride of ownership, preserves ancient artistic traditions and successfully moves women from poverty to self-sufficiency. Bella Cucina provided delicious bites and Catamarca Imports let us sample their wonderful wines. And – the best part – every one who came through the door learned something new about the ways microfinance is changing the lives of women around the world!
