‘Farm to Fabric’ Clothing Preserves Ancient Craftmanship

Throughout her career, New York-based Angel Chang has worked with internationally acclaimed designers, such as Chloé, of See By Chloé, and Donna Karan, and has written for publications from V Magazine to French Vogue. In 2006, she launched her own line of high-tech clothing, working with engineers to create innovative clothes, like a self-heating jacket.

With all of her professional accomplishments, including a graduate degree from Columbia University, Chang's fashion career appeared to be on track.

But in 2008, the Great Recession changed everything for Chang, who realized she needed to return to something more meaningful.
