Inside SUNO: The Ethical Fashion Brand Loved by Taylor Swift and Beyoncé
SUNO was a New York-based women’s luxury fashion label founded in 2008 by Max Osterweis. The brand was initially inspired by post-election violence in Kenya, where Osterweis had been collecting vintage kangas—colorful East African textiles—for years.
Partnering with designer Erin Beatty, a Parsons graduate and former Gap design director, the duo set out to create ethically produced, high-end clothing that blended global craftsmanship with modern fashion.

SUNO began by incorporating repurposed Kenyan textiles and expanded production to include artisan work from India, Italy, Romania, and New York. The brand was celebrated for its bold prints, structured silhouettes, and commitment to sustainability.
It gained a loyal celebrity following, with notable fans including Rashida Jones, Lupita Nyong’o, Katy Perry, and Zendaya. Despite its critical acclaim, SUNO shuttered in 2016 due to challenges in scaling its business model while maintaining ethical standards.
Inside the Design: Taylor’s Yellow Gucci Pumps
According to Gucci, Taylor’s Gucci pumps feature a bologna construction, a specialized process resulting in a soft, flexible shoe that conforms to your foot. There’s also a tiny interlocking G detail on the back heel and a metal logo under the shoe’s arch.
