THE PEOPLE
MEET OUR FOUNDER ARIZONA MUSE
Arizona Muse, earth activist, fashion model, and founder of DIRT Charity has found her voice as a passionate advocate for regenerative farming and soil health. It has been a personal as well as a political transformation, and it all starts with the ground beneath our feet…
Named “the new face of American fashion” by Vogue’s Anna Wintour, Arizona has experienced a remarkable journey. She has been photographed by iconic names like Peter Lindbergh and Steven Meisel and featured on over 40 Vogue covers globally. She's been the face of major brands, including Prada, Yves Saint Laurent, Chanel, and Louis Vuitton. She continues to work alongside the industry's finest tastemakers.
Modelling led her to explore the creation and life cycle of clothes and products which began an eye-opening journey, educating herself about the truth of how things are actually made, who makes them and the impact this cycle has on planet Earth. For all the success that comes with being a supermodel, keeping her feet on the ground (in soil) has resonated the most. Alongside finding her passion in soil regeneration and founding DIRT, Muse consults to help brands incorporate sustainability into their core strategy to lower their environmental impact. It is her life’s mission to raise awareness about the climate emergency and the climate solutions.
In her most recent project, she is partnering with the Founders Forum Group, supported by Tech Nation, to launch a new climate event. With a focus on agriculture, sustainable fashion, AI and investment, she will be bringing together a curated audience of founders, investors, influencers and change-makers, for an invite-only climate event, that aims to redefine the meaning of climate collective.
Arizona has received two prestigious awards for her significant contributions to creating positive change in the fashion industry. She was honoured with Green Tech Inspirational Achievement Award 2024 and the first ELLE STYLE Fashion Changemaker Award 2024.
As well as the founder of D I R T - Arizona is Advisory Board Member of The Biodynamic Demeter Alliance, Sustainability Consultant at arizonamuse.earth, Oceans Ambassador for Greenpeace and Advisory Board Member of The Sustainable Angle.
