Ciara Brown has always had an entrepreneurial spirit. At the age of 10, she sold pencils and erasers to the neighborhood kids out of her garage. At the age of 20, she decided to try to sell a few of her own clothing items. These days she works in a North Hollywood live work/loft space surrounded by 4,000 designer dresses, and hundreds of vintage clothing pieces. Her journey started in an 8x10 college bedroom with her first sale, a pair of MissMe Jeans. The bedroom of a Division 1 athlete and full-time student is an unusual place to start, but Ciara was determined to build this business so that when she graduated, she would be able to support herself and her employees. By the time she graduated at the age of 22, she had built her inventory, and before she knew it, she had acquired 3,000 designer dresses and moved into a 1,000 square foot warehouse. Among her part time employees are graphic designers, a CPA/bookkeeper, online inventory managers, photographers, models, fashion writers, salespeople and pop-up shop managers. At the age of 23, she is just getting started.
