Everlane
Dear rule-breakers, questioners, straight-A students who skipped class: We want you. At Everlane, we’re entrepreneurial thinkers who love to win as a team. We work in a bright, beautiful, open space without cubicles or closed-door meetings. The open format means you can see everything happening at once, from spirited discussions around strategy and new products to Post-it note concepting and heads-down execution. We believe great ideas foster other great ideas, and problem-solving is at its best when everyone can contribute. Are you a risk-taker who’s low on ego, but high on execution? At Everlane, we believe (most) risks are worth taking, and questions are always worth asking. Above all, we know that everyone can have an impact—junior, senior, whatever. If all this sounds good to you, come join us. We work in an airy office in San Francisco’s Mission District, with a small team in New York City as well. It’s challenging at times, but we visit each other often.

MARY KATRANTZOU
Born in Athens, Mary Katrantzou studied Architecture at Rhode Island School of Design and graduated with a BA in Textile design and an MA in Fashion from Central Saint Martins. Her graduation show in 2008, which featured trompe l’oeil prints of oversized jewelry on jersey-bonded dresses, took the industry by storm, immediately securing a number of prestigious stockists, notably Browns, Joyce, Colette. After her graduation show, Mary Katrantzou established her namesake brand. She now boasts over 100 high-end stockists ranging from Selfridges to Harrods.
Mary Katrantzou was dubbed "The Queen of Print" by the press, a moniker that recognized the enormous influence of her work in the medium. Katrantzou's work changed the face of twenty-first-century fashion, inspiring high fashion and high street designers alike. Prestigious collaborations have included capsule ranges with Swarovski, Victoria's Secret, Longchamp, Moncler, Topshop, Cowshed and Adidas Originals.
“Print can be as definitive as a cut or a drape and allows a woman to filter beauty found in design, in a subversive way. All my prints are constructed through digital technology. Digital print allows me to experiment with print in a way that fine art and other methods could not. It opens up a huge spectrum for possibility; I can create possibility out of impossibility, surrealism out of realism and both vice versa.”

The Citizenry
The Citizenry is a modern home decor brand created to inspire people to fill their homes with more meaningful items crafted by the best artisans around the world. By selling directly to consumers online, we’re able to offer handcrafted, luxury-quality home goods at more reasonable prices than high-end boutiques.

In addition to providing fair wages and working environments for all artisan partners, 10% of proceeds are invested back into artisan communities worldwide. Since launching in August, The Citizenry has been featured in The New York Times, The Financial Times, Vogue, Rue Magazine, Lonny Magazine, Domaine Home, and Apartment Therapy.
