Nikki Reed, an actress, conservationist, musician and designer. Film audiences have embraced Reed since she stormed the industry with her award-winning 2003 breakout role in THIRTEEN which she received wide critical acclaim including an Independent Spirit Award for Best Debut Performance and a nomination for Best First Screenplay. She has since become best known for her role as ‘Rosalie Hale’ in the TWILIGHT SAGA, in which she earned three Teen Choice nominations. Among her first film projects, Reed starred opposite Alec Baldwin in MINI’S FIRST TIME, and opposite Emile Hirsch and Heath Ledger in Sony’s surf-and-skate cult hit LORDS OF DOGTOWN. Reed later produced and starred in Thomas Dekker’s horror JACK GOES HOME, which premiered at the 2016 South by Southwest Film Festival. This followed her starring role in the indie film ABOUT SCOUT opposite Jayne Seymour, Ellen Burstyn and Danny Glover and the family drama A SUNDAY HORSE alongside Ving Rhames and William Shatner. She has also appeared in small-screen programs such as “The O.C.” and as the original American flag maker ‘Betsey Ross’ on FOX’s historical fantasy television series SLEEPY HOLLOW. She partnered with Morgan Bogle, founder of Freedom of Animals, and spent a year developing Bayou with Love. Nikki's love for all things sustainable and eco-friendly paired with Morgan's years of working with sustainable and ethical fashion led them on this journey to creating a lifestyle brand that would mirror Nikki's life. The eco-friendly materials, technologically advanced production of recycling plastic for fabric and the ethical decision to strive produce mostly within the USA without harming the planet, the people and the animals on it were the driving forces behind Bayou with Love. They are showing consumers that sustainable fashion is now, not later, and conscious consumption is an every day opportunity to make a better world.
