Biography

Mikaila Brown is a fashion anthropologist, who has a doctorate in Anthropology and Education from Columbia University. After working for designers like Oscar de la Renta, Pamela Roland and Betsey Johnson, she ran a socially conscious fashion line for 4 years. This has evolved into The Common Thread Project (TCTP), a travel and fashion brand which highlights the cultural diversities within the fashion industry by investigating the style trends of local communities. TCTP uses anthropological tools to unpacking the historical, cultural, and political roots behind the trends that locals wear. It looks specifically at the ways in which these communities use style choices to communicate who they are and what they value. She shares this knowledge with the public by offering cultural shopping tours through AirBnB’s new experiential arm. Her company also works with fashion brands to help them provide design options that are as culturally sensitive as they are consumable.
