Last month Cornelia was the October 'Featured Gravitas Woman' for Project Gravitas - where they collaborated and created style meets passion for the luxe collection of cruelty-free jackets! The Nelson is superb.
Project Gravitas designs and locally manufactures the "perfect dress" that gives every woman a confident sense of self: Italian fabrics, luxury construction made in NYC, with a slimming secret. Each Project Gravitas dress is named for a woman who has owned her moment in history. Each month, we donate 10% to a charity chosen by our featured Woman of Gravitas. Our mission is to inspire living with Gravitas. Own Your Moment.
