Last week, my All Things Fashion Tech Substack audience said they wanted: Founder Stories!! They want to learn about the origins & makings of fashion tech companies; the "why" behind the company, along with more background on the founders themselves. Are you a #fashiontech founder? Do you want to share your company and your story with thousands of fashion techies? I have a handful of Founder Stories queued up, but I'd love to add your network to the mix.

When you buy something from an artist you're buying more than an object. You're buying hundreds of hours of errors and experimentation. You're buying years of frustration and moments of pure joy. You're not buying just one thing, you are buying a piece of a heart, a piece of a soul... a small piece of someone else's life. #SustainableFashion, #ArtisanalFashion, #UpcycledFashion, #GenderInclusive, #SizeInclusive

What’s up LinkedIn? Haven’t posted much here. Truth is, I've been head down building for the past year ⬇️ Quick update: After a decade+ in NYC's fashion & entertainment scene, I realized something: The way we make fashion is broken. Think about it: • Students who can't access the Garment District's goldmine of talent • Emerging designers getting burned by unreliable services • Manufacturers struggling to connect with the right brands So I made the leap from producer to founder. I launched 99 Yards this month. Consider it a B2B marketplace where fashion talent, services, and opportunities connect in one trusted ecosystem. Full transparency on pricing, portfolios, and expertise. No more guessing games. What to expect from me: • Raw insights from the founder's journey • Hard lessons from bridging tech & tradition Sharing what I learn as we build the future of fashion collaboration—wins, mistakes, and everything in between. So stick around—the way we work together in the fashion world is about to get a whole lot more efficient 😏

I had such a great time discussing diversity of thought in fashion, the need for more fashion tech education, how it can be achieved and the future of our industry. At the same time it’s a strange time for diversity, whether it’s fear or lack of understanding of impact, diversity and it’s need seems to be under constant attack. I challenge us all to consider diversity a necessary implementation and to understand how to better integrate it into our industry. There shouldn’t be a lot of fear around diversity if we understand its uniqueness to creating better internal cultures and customer outcomes.
