My business partner and make-up artist Kim Jacob and I have employed every member of staff, decided where every desk in the office should go, tried every product on our faces.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
My girlfriend is a fashion designer. She has her own company called Rachel Antonoff. She is doing a collaboration with Urban Outfitters right now, a shoe collaboration with Bass. She sells to Barneys, stuff like that.
I'm a designer, I love it, and I haven't worked this hard to do bad work.
I'm lucky that my restaurant partners are my wife Liz and Doug Petkovic. We opened our first restaurant over 15 years ago. And we didn't open up our second restaurant for almost ten years. So that gave us a good foundation of employees.
Our company is built on people - those who work for us, and those we do business with.
My customers are successful workingwomen.
There are so many designers that I love, and I'm so lucky that I get to work with so many of them and sometimes spend time with them.
I worked at the cosmetic counter at a fine department store.
We started the company out of frustration with the employer that we had because we were building great stuff and there was no way that this stuff was ever going to get into the hands of the people who could use it.
I meet the designers very often, we discuss the products, they show me their ideas, we discuss the ad campaigns and every new invention that we can find for the future.
My business is not to show anybody anything; my job is just to do it.
