Skukura's founder, Akilah Moore, has loved fashion since as long as she can remember. She grew up going to yard sales, flea markets, and thrift stores with her mom, grandma, and sister. She'd bid on Ebay items during school so she wouldn’t miss out on the Juicy Couture bag she was eyeing.

She's always shopped sustainably without even realizing that’s what she was doing. It wasn’t until she watched the documentary The True Cost, that she fully grasped just how big of an impact the fashion industry has on people and the planet. She decided right then that if she was going to be in this industry she’d do everything in her power to be on the right side of history and change it.
