Yellowcake

Fashionistas know, there’s no need to travel to Paris or Milan for the latest runway ready looks. Head to Gordon Square, where you’ll find Yellowcake, the signature line of women’s outerwear and accessories by artist and Project Runway alumna Valerie Mayén. Yellowcake’s fashion-forward sensibility is matched by the brand’s emphasis on social responsibility: all garments are handmade in the United States; a majority of the staff is female; they have enacted practices to reduce their carbon footprint and lower textile waste; and Mayén -- a Latinx, female business owner -- provides coaching to individuals looking for guidance in their career path. Yellowcake is committed to producing “high-quality, luxury pieces that provide value for the consumer and a better life for all those who inhabit our world.”
