Also, to specifically meet the
needs of observant and/or mod-
est women, many of Havah Tribe’s
clothes feature high necklines, long
sleeves and long skirts.
“On Instagram, we have also cre-
ated a community culture — really
a tribe — where we discuss women’s
health issues a lot plus share recipes
and talk about exercise,” Gross says.
“Most importantly, we’ve created a
space where mothers can send their
questions and concerns, and where
everybody answers each other’s
questions.”
A new winter collection is sched-
uled to arrive online sometime in

September. And Gross says she is
excited to be providing clothes for
Headwrap Expo, a multi-faith fash-
ion show scheduled to take place in
Dearborn on Oct. 14 and also for the
Bridal Canopy charity fashion show
in West Bloomfield on Nov. 18.
“What I do is much more than
just clothing,” adds the designer. “It’s
helping to make women feel sup-
ported and proud. I want them to
appreciate that they are something
amazing. And while my designs
have been created with both nursing
mothers and observant women in
mind, I am touched by the outpour-
ing of support from the single girls
and older women in the community
who choose to wear our clothes at
all the stages of their lives.” •
