Q&A with Candace


What are some challenges as a female entrepreneur?

“I find that many female founders struggle with asking for help because they feel like they need to do everything on their own. But in reality, people are there to help you with your dream and your goals – so just ask, and people will deliver exactly what you need.”

Do you have any entrepreneurial advice?

“Celebrate every step you take, even if it’s small.”

How does fashion impact your life and your business?

“I express myself through my clothing. I think what you wear helps empower who you are, show people that you are here, you’re making a statement and you’re a powerful person.”

Q&A with Chloe



What are some challenges as a female entrepreneur?

“I think it’s going above and beyond the things that we are led to believe. To be an entrepreneur you have to learn to take pleasure in adversity.”

 

Do you have any entrepreneurial advice?  

“There is no right time to launch. Don’t wait for the “perfect” moment. Go for it and have fun.”

 

How does fashion impact your life and your business?

“The blazer is typically a piece that I can put on to pitch an investor, to go to work, even to go out at night.”

Q&A with Emna


What are some challenges as female entrepreneur?

“It was being alone. It is sometimes an advantage because we are watched, we have a bit of visibility. It’s quite complicated because there are times when we don’t necessarily have a role model or people to talk to.”

 

How does fashion impact your life and your business?

“In my opinion, clothing isn’t just something we wear to dress nice. I like to wear something that gives me confidence, and a little blazer is the perfect example, it makes me feel like a girl boss.”
