What happens when you discover that the company bearing your name doesn’t belong to you?
At twenty-six, I found out.
I had built a million-dollar business without understanding where my knowledge ended—and someone else’s power began.

Then & Now.

The ’90s called. I kept the headband.

I wore large headbands then, and nearly three decades later, a new generation is wearing them now.

Trends come and go. Great design has a way of coming back—sometimes it never really left.

Same spirit. New generation. ✨

THE PONYTAIL GUIDE

The ponytail has moved far beyond the gym.

High and lifted. Low and languid. Slick and architectural. Soft, tousled and barely done. Bubbled, braided or finished with a piece of hair jewelry.

The new rule? Placement changes everything.

A high pony lifts the face.
A mid pony feels effortless.
A low pony reads instantly sophisticated.
A partless pony makes it modern.
A little volume makes it glamorous.
And the right accessory turns the simplest ponytail into a look.

This season, perfection isn’t the point. Polish, movement and personality are.

Consider this your ponytail wardrobe.

Bergdorf. Barneys. Bendel’s. Bloomingdale’s. Bonwit Teller.
The orders came faster than I knew how to make them.
One sewing machine, 100,000 Malouf Poufs and $1 million in revenue later, I learned one of my first great lessons in fashion:
A hit product can happen. Building a brand is something else entirely.
The next chapter of my story is now on Substack.

A skeptical Bergdorf Goodman buyer, my mother’s 1950s hat box, and one peculiar ponytail holder…

How that unlikely combination turned a month-old experiment into a business.
