With so much to distract us from the present, we may overlook what has drawn people to Brooklyn from around the world since its humble origins. Brooklyn isn't just a place, but a way of life. We at Brooklyn Beauty Fashion Labo appreciate Brooklyn's vibrant spirit, its slower pace and, especially, the emphasis on sustainability. We do this by focusing on local production and consumption and by paying close attention to what's trending in Brooklyn in the here and now. There are scores of distinct neighborhoods in Brooklyn, but we feel that the character and atmosphere of the ones listed below best exemplify the sustainable lifestyle we aspire to achieve.
