"We tightened our belts and focused on waste. We had a lot of wasteful practices—just simple stuff, like sending a FedEx package to China every day." After surviving two financial recessions, the 56-year-old founder and favorite of Michelle Obama has the wisdom of a woman who’s tackled it all. She started her first clothing line in the mid-'80s—which went "belly-side up" thanks to the Stock Market Crash of 1987—and it was ten years before she felt comfortable to strike out again. This time, a little bit wiser, she went on to build a retail empire boasting ready-to-wear apparel, handbags, shoes, home goods, and accessories. But eventually, the fashion industry's wasteful practices caught up with her. “[In fashion] you’re constantly creating product. I got sick of it all,” she admits. “It seemed very backward and not intuitive anymore.”⁣ ⁣ Here, the Detroit native discusses her secrets to working smarter during a downturn, and her recently-launched sustainable line, @hopeforflowersbytracyreese, which aims to address the industry’s detrimental effect on the environment. She just has one question before you buy: “Is this something you need? Something you absolutely have to have?” Read the full interview at the link in bio.」6月28日 23時22分
