Dohl said blending her passion for unique fashion design with her commitment for a sustainable future, allows her to tap into a growing community of women who want clothing that reflects their personal style, while also representing their environmental concerns.

“Today, the fashion forward woman is not only stylish, but she is also educated and worldly and that often means having a sensitivity to ecologically conscious products,” Dohl said. “I believe fashion can be both stylish as well as environmentally and ethically sustainable. I designed lissatheshop.com to reflect those principles and offer the best of both worlds. Women want to be responsible, but they also want to look and feel good.”
