Fierce Joy: A Candid Conversation with Ripley Rader | | We've got some exciting news to share with you! The acclaimed brand, The Office of Angela Scott, sat down with Ripley to talk business, the journey getting there, and the joy necessary to maintain it. (Also, the Perfect Oxford with the Perfect Pant? Iconic.)
What is something about your job that would surprise most people? I spend about 3% or less of the time actually designing. Founding a company isn't for the faint of heart and there's many pieces in the puzzle. The larger the team we build, the more I get to focus on design and creativity, but it's never as much as I would like to. How did you get into your line of work? I've always made my own clothes. I started sewing with my grandmother at age 10. By the time I was in high school, I was making everyone's prom dresses and so on. Once I got to LA, I was unemployed and broke, I started making all my clothes again and got scouted by a buyer at Fred Segal, who said if I made them in America, she would launch me...and the rest is history! What is the most exciting part about your job?
Connecting with women I adore - both in who we dress and with whom I work. I think fashion can either live at the surface or go deep, and I think we really take into consideration how sacred it is to dress women for important moments in their life.
What is the best piece of advice you've been given in your career? My mentor and friend, Kate Sinclair, told me once, "a lot of people are doing themselves very well. Don't be them, be you." I think about that every day and impart it to every woman on my team. It's gold. | | F E A T U R E D P R O D U C T S | | | Black Ponte Knit Wide
