EP 14: Organically Building a Fashion Brand and the Challenges of Entrepreneurship with Chloe Williams - a podcast by Rebecca Tembo

Welcome back to D2D! Today we are joined with Chloe Williams, or you may know her as Chloe Chanel on Instagram, formerly the co-founder of Mama’s Boutique which she has now solely rebranded to Embi Studio. I discovered Mama’s Boutique when I was about 16/17 years old and the brand played such a pivotal role in my dream to be a fashion designer. There was nothing like it at the time and it was my first experience seeing young women (especially black women) create a clothing brand from scratch - I was so inspired not just by the designs, but by the fact it was possible.⁣

This is why I’m a huge advocate for sharing the journey. Let people in so they can be inspired and feel like it’s possible too. I love that social media enables us to do this now - these conversations are what Chloe and I both felt like we needed when we embarked on this journey.

Chloe delves into her early influences, the early days of Mama’s boutique, the reality behind owning a fashion brand, and why this rebrand was so important to her. Stick around because this episode will leave you fired up! If it does, as I predict, please do not forget to subscribe and leave a lovely review so we can help more designers and founders on their journey.

And on that note, I hope you enjoy today’s episode!
