S10 E8: Andi Rosenstein:Turning Threads into Stories - The Woman Behind Fitigues and The Duce

Visionary entrepreneur and designer Andrea (“Andi”) Rosenstein joins us, she is co-creator of the iconic clothing brand Fitigues and co-founder of The Duce, a one‑of‑a‑kind event space in downtown Phoenix. Andi shares how a chance meeting with her husband, Steve, in Chicago’s apparel center led to a decades‑long partnership in life and business—from building Fitigues into a national brand that helped pioneer elevated, gym‑inspired casual wear, to selling the company and later buying it back nearly 20 years later. She explains the instinct, intuition, and love of “things that have been loved over time” that guide her creative decisions. You’ll hear candid stories about risk‑taking, timing, and following a vision before the market catches up; what it’s like to build brands alongside your spouse and sons; and how threads of family, style, and place have woven through every chapter of Andi’s life.  Our Non Profit Spotlight is Desert Labrador Retriever Rescue of Arizona _ Katie Harms: [email protected], www.katieharms.com Lisa Rubin: [email protected], www.wardrobeconsulting.net .
