It’s not everyday you get honored for doing something you love, so you can only imagine how happy I was to be in Hearty Magazine’s “Leaders of the Pack: The Leading Ladies of Streetwear Revealed” feature along side heavy hitters, Sarah (Colette), Leah (MOB) and Claudia (Claw Money). 

“Initially neglected, ladies were left with the option of buying men’s tees and sneakers in small sizes and lacked an established community to call their own. Then suddenly, women’s brands started popping up, carving a place for women in streetwear.

Granted, today there are still more men’s brands, but the female labels represent the best of the best. As Leah from Married to the Mob says, ‘The men’s brands mostly (not all, but a lot!) look the same, but the female lines have their own look and feel. Pretty dope.’ This sentiment is echoed by Hellz Bellz founder and head designer, Lanie, who points out that her line is far more than merely a complement to menswear, noting, ‘We’re not just the sister counterparts to the men’s streetwear brands. We’re now able to stand on our own and become forces to be reckoned with.’”
