NINA FARRAN

Fashionkind CEO and founder Nina Farran has been a leader in fashion and impact since 2008, when she introduced humanitarian fashion brand OmniPeace to her fellow undergraduates at the University of Pennsylvania. Farran started Fashionkind as an educational blog about sustainability and style while working as a research analyst at Glenmede, where she also built and launched the company’s impact investing platform, which today represents at least $2bn of the firm's AUM. Fashionkind evolved into a technology platform that merges e-commerce with rich storytelling, featuring brands that qualify as "Impact Luxury." In addition to helming Fashionkind, Farran is the Board Chair of Power Up Gambia, a 501(c)3 that is transforming healthcare services in the Gambia through solar energy. She was one of ten entrepreneurs selected for Vital Voices' Global Ambassadors Program and was selected to participate in UBS’s Project Entrepreneur, a program to support female-founded companies. Farran has been featured in various fashion publications; has spoken on prestigious stages, such as MIT and InStyle’s How to Make it in Fashion; and was named one of Town & Country’s "New Modern Swans," the magazine’s list of influential, stylish and accomplished young women from around the world.
