I think of Emily Weiss and Glossier as well.
I feel like in terms of coming out of that era unscathed,
Maybe not in a – unscathed is not the right word.
But I think in terms of still existing and operating in a very visible setting, she is.
All those other founders that we've referenced, I would say it had to go dark because all of them experienced their own controversies and, you know, there were articles that were either about unfair treatment to employees and working conditions, racism was at the centre of a lot of these conversations or –
you know, this positioning of their business being really successful, but then behind closed doors, it was actually, you know, hemorrhaging cash.
So a variety of reasons, some of them very legitimate in the sense of why they were garnering criticism.
Some of them I feel a little bit of a pile on.
Overarching theme, female leaders, positioning of power, very much an authority, but also someone that you were looking up to.
There was a connecting thread through all of them and a very clear aesthetic that I think really takes you back to that time and makes you think.
I think the millennial pink is definitely at the forefront.
What the Vogue article actually touched on as well is that a lot of these women who disappeared, I would say had to go underground once their businesses either fell apart, quite literally, they don't exist anymore, so both Nasty Gal and The Wing closed, or they had to step away.
