Latin Biz Today’s director of community relations Tina Trevino interviews Samantha Telfair about her fashion business.
A Latina born and raised in the Bronx, Telfair turned her sense of style into a career by becoming a stylist to celebrities and A-listers on the red carpet.
Upon re-locating to the West Coat in LA, she wanted to find a way to expand upon her styling business. She founded the brand The Merger. As CEO, founder, Latina entrepreneur Ā and creative director of this modern luxury brand, The Merger looks to build community and collaborate with other designers.
In Part 1 of our interview, Telfair chats with us about turning her passion for clothing into a business, the learning curve of building a fashion brand and her thoughts on fast fashion.
