#112 Marta Miller - How Armed Peruvian Guards Inspired a LA Clothing Factory | The Fashion Series

Marta Miller was always drawn to the fashion industry. Admiring the work of her fashion major friends in college, she moved to London after finishing her education at the University of Texas Austin and worked as a sales rep for Christian Siriano (who became the youngest winner of Project Runway in 2007). Her desire to deepen her experience led her to Los Angeles, where she was introduced to the fashion scene by Rosetta Getty. At the young age of 23, she started Moody Mamas, a maternity wear brand that drew the attention of Target, Nordstrom, and other large clothing suppliers. Despite these successes, the brand suffered from hurdle after hurdle in the international manufacturing process, which slowed production or even ruined whole shipments of clothing. Seeing firsthand how difficult it was for young designers to get off the ground, Marta co founded Lefty Production Company to streamline clothing brand creation through a US based, customer focused, and environmentally conscious approach.https://www.leftyproductionco.com/Subscribe to our Newsletter!https://findingfounders.co/subscribeWebsite: findingfounders.coFollow Sam: https://www.instagram.com/samueldonner/Follow Finding Founders IG: https://www.instagram.com/findingfounderspodcast/ Learn more about your ad choices.
