ประวัติศาสตร์แฟชั่น
Blake Mycoskie founded Toms in 2006 following a trip to Argentina, where he observed children without shoes. The brand gained cultural significance by pioneering the 'One for One' business model, donating a pair of shoes for every pair sold. This approach influenced a decade of social entrepreneurship in the fashion industry. While the company later transitioned to a grant-based giving model, it remains a landmark example of corporate philanthropy in mainstream retail history.
