In a move toward reshaping the future of the fashion industry, Angelina Jolie, renowned actor, director, humanitarian, and entrepreneur, joins the Advisory Board of Another Tomorrow, the pioneering sustainable fashion brand launched by Vanessa Barboni Hallik in 2020, as Strategic Advisor. Their partnership embodies a transparent exchange of knowledge, open resources, and community building, as both strive to support the transformation of the apparel industry into a more resilient and sustainable ecosystem, advancing principles Another Tomorrow has modeled in innovation, sustainability, advocacy, and scalable standards.
One of the biggest changes I’m seeing is that people working in sustainability are finding ways to partner, and I’m joining the Another Tomorrow advisory board because Vanessa is building a different path in this industry. She saw all the shortcomings and roadblocks that have long been accepted as rote, and she is taking them on and modeling how to work differently. To be part of this momentum is exciting to me, and for the outcome to be elevated clothing that comes from a thoughtful and humane supply chain makes it all the more beautiful

Behind every garment created is a value chain: an intricate ecosystem including nature, energy, people, and often animals – which tend to be overlooked as part of the historically extractive and opaque fashion industry. Angelina’s deep humanitarian commitment and her expansive vision are a consistent source of inspiration for me as Another Tomorrow seeks to redefine a responsible and resilient future for fashion. She challenges us to expand the boundaries of possibility, to operate in an enhanced spirit of determination and collaboration. All the while fostering and supporting a community of incredible aligned artists and designers like Mimi Plange

Another Tomorrow has been an ongoing collaborative partner in advocacy to instigate systems change from their support for California Senate Bill 62, current active legislation in The Fashion Act and The Fabric Act, as well as pointed petitions geared toward banning inhumane practices such as mulesing in the wool industry and a ban on health- and ecosystem-disruptive Chlorpyrifos insecticide used on cotton, among other agricultural products. Paralleling their emphasis on impact with customer reach in over 50 countries and leading retail partners such as Bergdorf Goodman, Selfridges, Neiman Marcus, Saks, Goop, Net-A-Porter, among others.
