GLAUDI is also launching the first collection of sustainable earrings. Her accessory collection is handmade in El Salvador from excess GLAUDI dress fabric to give them a second life. Each design is also ethically made, empowering women’s communities, from vulnerable areas of El Salvador. Through her collection, GLAUDI is providing job opportunities for women, allowing them to improve their quality of life for them, as well as for their children!

Passionate about giving back, an emphasis at the Beverly Hills ’23 show will be contributing to a meaningful organization. To help girls thrive, GLAUDI will be supporting charity, EmpowHer. Johana shares, “

The reason why supporting EmpowHer is so important, is it equips kids that are minorities to find their dream careers and pursue them at a young age. When I was young, there weren’t programs like this to help us.” Featured as a guest-speaker to inspire young girls in pursuing their dreams through the organization’s events, she adds, “I relate to all the girls in it, not knowing how to get into universities. Now we can set them up for success through EmpowHer mentorship program.”
