Designer's Note: Thank You All, Exciting News
Happy 2021 once again! I’ve been taking some time to reflect on 2020, which was a challenging year for all.
I am very proud in the midst of all our business challenges of what BOY MEETS GIRL® was able to still accomplish, and the incredible collaborators we got to work with.
As I embark into 2021, I have decided to finally write my BOOK that I have been speaking about for 20 years (Chicago girl comes to NYC no family in the fashion business and builds an impact brand from scratch).
That’s me covered in the biggest Finnish newspaper covering my entry into Finland! This is where I licensed the brand to the biggest store in Finland, see more here.
I am taking a special moment to do this and I am super excited about it. I am excited to share more with you as it develops. I am so proud of our past year, and the 20 years of growing a business from scratch. The donations and partnerships we were able to do over 2020 during a pandemic & the lifetime as a brand has been incredible.
During this time our CORE BOY MEETS GIRL® products [that’s me above when I launched in Bergdorf Goodman, my first department store to carry BOY MEETS GIRL®] that I have continued to sell over 20 years will be available on our website.
Have no fear, we are not going ANYWHERE!
-
Our collaboration with Survivor Corps donating back to their mission to be a community to those affected by COVID-19 will also still be available.
-
Our GLAM4GOOD collaboration will also be available to support their efforts as well during the COVID-19 Pandemic & more.
-
Our licensed HOME COLLECTION with Bed, Bath, & Beyond is available so make sure to continue to support our licensed partners. This particular collection is donated back to the National School Climate Center's BullyBust program to combat intolerance.
-
We will continue to license globally & support our global partners.
We will not be making anything new other than the above mentioned for our website to keep to our sustainability mission, and also so I can be present while writing my book. While we will not be selling new collaborations on our website at this time - we will still be launching new collaborations outside our website, so make sure to stay tuned for the FUTURE!
I am going to take you down memory lane on our social as I dive into the pieces for my book. I am going to take you to the ROOT of the brand, and the LOVE of the Brand. I am going to take you through the PASSION & the PERSEVERANCE.
The above is some fan tattoos that still amaze me to this day [maybe I'll get one myself soon ;)].
I am going to continue to share with you the incredible charities we work with, and their work they are doing during this time. I am going to continue to bring you Instagram Live content, and bring you into a whole new world.
I like to think of this as a gift to you, and a gift to me.
Thank you so much for being part of my journey. The best is yet to come.
Best,
