Zoe grew up in Hutchinson, Kansas.
Zoe grew up in Hutchinson, Kansas.
Knowing from a young age that she wanted to be a fashion designer, she attended Kansas State University from 2006 to 2011 with a dual major in Apparel & Textile design and Apparel Marketing and a minor in business. In college, Zoe studied the effects that mainstream fashion manufacturing had in countries where it was produced, including the prevalence of child labor, very low wages, inhumane working conditions, and environmental pollution.
Her maiden name is Caroline Zoe Waggoner. 4 All Humanity
In 2012, at age 24, after working in commercial apparel as a designer and technical designer at GTM Sportswear, Zoe created the apparel line 4 All Humanity as a sustainable fashion answer to what she viewed as unsustainable fast fashion. In 2013, 4 All Humanity partnered with Haiti Lifeline Ministries and launched the program T-Shirts 4 Education, where each shirt sold sends a child (in a developing country) to school for a month with a school uniform and school supplies.
4 All Humanity has been featured in prominent media, including the premier issue of Conscious Magazine along with several smaller publications.
Zoe speaks regularly about her journey from fashion designer to social entrepreneur. Her work with 4 All Humanity and creating sustainable employment for artisans led her to speak at the 2013 Kansas Conference on Poverty.
She is a consultant for companies and designers who want products, services or events that are as eco-conscious as possible, and has worked with global brands including Education and More. Zoe currently serves as the Associate Director on the board of directors of Education and More.
