Nasty Gal's #GIRLBOSS Sophia Amoruso Will Help Change Your Life in the October Issue of SUCCESS Magazine
Amoruso discusses how her anti-capitalist lifestyle led her to dead-end jobs and even dumpster diving until she found the courage to turn her life around and become a #GIRLBOSS
DALLAS, Sept. 13, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- The moment Sophia Amoruso knew she had to make a change within herself was when she was caught trying to steal a George Foreman grill and shower curtain rings. Up until this point in her life, Amoruso was struggling to figure out where she fit in. Getting caught shoplifting helped her realize that she was capable of something better in life and needed to stop taking shortcuts. The vintage chic owner of Nasty Gal, an online women's retailer, and author of #GIRLBOSS and the upcoming Nasty Galaxy, leveraged her creative talents to build what is now a $300 million per year fashion brand.
In "They Say I'm Different," SUCCESS Associate Editor Jamie Friedlander details Amoruso's journey from having a life of meaningless jobs to becoming a self-professed #GIRLBOSS—she is now a fashion mogul, writer, host of the #Girlboss Radio podcast and has an upcoming Netflix show based on her life premiering in 2017. This is only the beginning of the empire she is building.
"I always wanted to be great at something and I found out I'm pretty great at a lot of things. I think that's what it takes to be an entrepreneur. It's hard if you're only good at one thing or you're not adaptable."
– Sophia Amoruso tells SUCCESS, October 2016 issue
Realizing that the only way out is through, Amoruso exhibited the utmost courage to become the woman she is today. At SUCCESS, we know that courage comes in many different forms. In "Can't Stop, Won't Stop" writer Khushbu Shah recounts swimsuit designer Tala Raassi's bravery against a hyper-conservative Iran. Imprisoned and sentenced to 40 lashes for wearing a miniskirt to a party, Raassi was determined to find freedom through fashion. Now she lives in the U.S. and has built a life to love through her namesake women's swimwear line.
