Creatives Spotlight Series

As a designer and small business owner, I'm always inspired by other creatives out there hustling and building a business around their passion. That's what keeps me going!

Typically we use professional models for our photoshoots, but I've been wanting to style a shoot with local creatives that inspire me, having them express their individual style wearing our latest collection of unisex 3D knitted sweaters.

After 25 years of doing photoshoots for Stacia, this was actually my first time using men in a shoot! I've dabbled in menswear over the years (some Aloha men's shirts and cashmere sweaters back in my Brooklyn boutique days), but this is my first foray into Unisex styles. There's nothing more intimate than slipping on your boyfriend or husband's sweater.

What makes someone a Creative? They can be an Entrepreneur, an Artist, or a Voice, but above all they are risk takers, change makers, and disruptors. At Stacia we want to uplift other creatives who inspire us.

Follow along in future posts as I highlight the local movers & shakers from my recent photoshoot as they share their stories and style our zero-waste 3D knits in their own way.
