It was an incredible honor to speak with the students at @istitutomarangoni_miami about my entrepreneurial journey in fashion. Their curiosity and eagerness to learn about the realities of building and growing a brand were truly inspiring. These students are leaps ahead of where Mariela and I were when we first started our business, and their drive is contagious. Before my talk, I had the privilege of sitting in on a pitch competition, and I was absolutely blown away by the creativity, presentation skills, and passion these students brought to the table. I was so impressed that when I was invited to join the Advisory Board, I didn’t hesitate for a moment. I’m thrilled to begin this new chapter and look forward to getting even more involved with the school in 2025! Thank you @evahughes31 for inviting me speak and to get more involved with this incredible school.
