This Earth Month, Angelina Jolie is marrying her renowned style sensibilities with eco-conscious advocacy.
The celebrated actress, who not too long ago launched her own brand Atelier Jolie, is now a guiding force on the advisory board of Another Tomorrow.
The brand is a B Corp-certified luxury fashion label which was founded by the forward-thinking Vanessa Barboni Hallik in 2020 and stands out for its sophisticated simplicity and ‘Quiet Luxury’ aesthetic.
“We hold ourselves to the highest standards when selecting materials for our designs,” the brand explained, “Where we were unable to source materials that met our strict criteria – comfort, quality, and environmental and animal welfare — we created entirely new supply chains which did.”

Angelina Jolie, shared her excitement about joining forces with Vanessa Barboni Hallik and the Another Tomorrow team saying, “One of the biggest changes I’m seeing is that people working in sustainability are finding ways to partner, and I’m joining the Another Tomorrow advisory board because Vanessa is building a different path in this industry.”
She continued, “She saw all the shortcomings and roadblocks that have long been accepted as rote, and she is taking them on and modelling how to work differently. To be part of this momentum is exciting to me, and for the outcome to be elevated clothing that comes from a thoughtful and humane supply chain makes it all the more beautiful.”

This isn’t Angelina’s first fashion foray however. Last year her eponymous label Atelier Jolie partnered with Chloé. “Very few luxury brands are a certified B Corp. It was important to me to work with Chloé, one of the first luxury brands to be a B Corp,” Angelina said at the time, “It has been a privilege to design with Gabriela Hearst, and I hope all women will feel comfortable and beautiful in this capsule collection.”
The earnings from her collaboration with the French maison were pledged to help establish apprenticeships for tailors and artisans at Atelier Jolie.
