Episode Summary
On this episode of the #FoundingFemme series, host @anastasiabarbuzzi welcomes SWIMINISTA founder Andréa Bernholtz. Andréa was once at the helm of the iconic denim brand Rock & Republic and solely established the low-rise jean trend with the help of her celebrity clientele (Victoria Beckham being her poster girl). Today R&R's bejewelled pocket emblem is instantly recognizable but so are Andréa's SWIMINISTA swimsuits, their sustainable designer appeal resembling the attainable luxury that R&R once possessed.
Anastasia and Andréa talk running a multimillion-dollar company as a young mother, working with the stars, starting a new brand once you've already brought an iconic one to the table, fashion's sustainable future, and so much more. Andréa is a strong figurehead that's inspired a generation of female entrepreneurs so listen to this episode if you want to follow down her path and learn from the best.
