How to grow a feminist lingerie fashion brand and sell it in 6 years.
It is not often that we hear success stories involving small fashion brands, single female founder-owned and that sold successfully in a matter of a few years. But these stories exist and today we get to hear firsthand about it.
Meet Hayat Rachie – a young ambitious woman who after getting fired from yet another job – decided to create a job for herself, launch a feminist lingerie fashion brand of her own that will allow her to express her talents on her own terms. If this is not enough, she also set upon herself to be the disruptor in an industry she didn’t know much about and change women’s lives along the way.
For some, this may be a risk too far. A form of gambling many may not be willing to take. But Hayat was fearless and did take the risk to gamble the little she had and it paid off.
