ReformedSchool

Chicago native, Peter Gaona, is a dancer-turned-designer and owner of the five-year-old online retailer ReformedSchool. Peter started ReformedSchool after retiring from performing while completing his degree at Columbia College Chicago in Arts Entertainment Media Management.

ReformedSchool’s Mission: “Utilize eco-fashion to educate and spark about the environment as well as history and social justice in style.”

ReformedSchool bow ties, lapel pins and wearable art are all made from repurposed vintage fabrics, leathers and recycled plastic bottles. They are designed to shine a spotlight on both social justice and African Diasporan history.
