Interview: by Magaly-Fuentes-Sagan
A long time member of the Eco Fashion World family, Stephanie Gale of Beau Monde Organics was recently featured by Urban Times,
discussing how she wound up designing the fabulous Beau Monde Organics
cotton voile scarves and her newest project…iPhone covers.
Gale is a constant source of positive inspiration and it shines through in her beautiful product line. As a direct descendant to a master tailor of New York’s garment district (her grandfather) and as an extremely talented artist in her own right, Gale’s path to designing and creating was an organic one. Her love of the earth and her desire to create positive change through her work have melded perfectly into her business plan of action. Gale’s scarves are recognizable – the artistic style is distinct, as well as the luxurious quality. As that part of the business grows, Gale is constantly open to new and additional projects to integrate into Beau Monde Organics.

Most
recently, she has partnered with Tru Protection to design iPhone covers.
Again, Gale’s artistic style is clearly distinguishable and simply beautiful. A
portion of the iPhone cover sales is given to Sea Thos or Edukate.

Gale maintains a particularly positive and energetic outlook on life
every day. This is unmistakably part of her recipe for success. Because
part of growing and changing is in sharing and learning from each
other, we asked Gale to share some of her hopes for the new year as well
as hints of what inspires and motivates her.
EFW: What is your hope or a ‘main goal’ for this New Year?
SG: "When one tugs at a single thing in Nature, he finds it
attached to the rest of the world," is our Mission’s theme. I'd like to
engender more understanding of the deeply profound truth in this quote
of John Muir. Give people the truth of all the ways we are connected to
our earth, and teach about how every action has consequences, for good
or for bad. It's important to care, and then take action on what you
care about. When people are informed, they lose their fears and become
empowered to make choices towards a healthy and sustainable future. They
can then help avoid the devastation of our beautiful and wondrous
planet. In this way, my hope is to help more people to live a more
'connected' life, and to help them 'Live Beautifully'.
EFW: What keeps you so positive and inspired on a daily basis?
SG: "To be positive in the face of difficulty and challenge -
that is a choice, and an intention. I'm a bit of a quote junkie and
definitely a new-music junkie! I love (ok, need) to have a constant
source of both, and the beauty and power of music and words help me to
keep my attitude on track. (for examples, see my blog's ‘Fav Quote Friday' posts and my 'Positivity' board on Pinterest.
As far as daily inspiration, there is much energy in being creative, and
I always see beauty and inspiration everywhere I go, from many sources;
nature, people, lifestyle, world cultures and all of 'The Arts'. But
there are energy sources: the first is that I love what I do and am
truly passionate about my company and its Mission. The other is the real
'secret weapon'; the support and encouragement I receive of my
beautiful friends and family, which I could not do without. And the
delight and appreciation of my lovely customers, who let me know that
what I do makes them happy and feel beautiful. That's a lot of tinder
for my creative fire, and I couldn't be more grateful.
Hope you enjoyed this interview and knowing some of my 'secrets'.
Let me know what 'secret weapons' you use to keep living beautifully!
