The Modern House Dress: Stitching Up the Economic Gap with Melissa Magsaysay and Andrea Racey of Duster

Superwomen with Rebecca Minkoff

To all the modern-day moms out there doing the most, we see you. And you deserve an outfit that sees you too. With 75 percent of unpaid care labor falling into the hands of women, the need for closing the economic inequality gap has never been greater.

Writing and fashion brand consultant Melissa Magsaysay and fashion designer Andrea Racey, cofounders of Duster, have created a contemporary house dress (inspired by the duster worn by Filipino women to do housework) that not only carries women through their day-to-day work, but also sparks a larger conversation about women's work, both visible and invisible. Melissa and Andrea are driven by their brand's mission to honor ALL that women do and ease the burden in women's lives.
