Vogue’s Julia Reed visits Project Alabama in 2001, the start of what would become a longstanding relationship shared between Natalie and the publication. Julia’s piece, “Sweet Home Alabama,” is published in the March 2002 issue.
“If the goal seems a bit quixotic, keep in mind that she started little more than a year ago with a handful of ads in the local paper. Now she has a growing army of enthusiastic women. ‘They are Project Alabama,’ she says. ‘This has a heart. We found a way to do fashion with a heart.’” —Julia Reed for Vogue Magazine, March 2002
