Former Bachelor contestant and future mom Bekah Martinez works in collaboration with sustainable fashion label Jean Franklin on a small new collection. This marks Martinez's first major partnered project since the show and it is specifically created in support of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. The capsule is comprised of two items -- a headscarf and a wrap dress. Both items are constructed using deadstock fabric, which are unused materials gathered from fashion labels.
Notably, half of the net profits will be going directly towards the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. Jean Franklin's founder Amanda Singh and Bekah Martinez both have personal ties to those affected by breast cancer, making this a collection close to their hearts. The headscarf can be worn in a variety of ways, boasting design cues drawn from the 70s and the wrap dress is the perfect transitional piece with its vintage touches.
