MALIA MILLS: The voice we have resonates with some people.
00:24
The mission statement resonates with some people.
00:26
The made in America is very passionate for a lot of people.
00:28
A focus on trying to educate and create
00:32
opportunities for the next generation of young girls
00:34
resonates with people.
00:35
I think that's revolutionary.

It's this idea of how does it fit you,
00:51
but how does it fit you emotionally
00:53
was absolutely a huge part of what
00:56
we've built at Malia Mills.
00:58
That's a direct correlation to what
01:00
I learned from when I was up at the Human Ecology school.

We can do what we do because we have factories that are here,
01:12
of suppliers that are here, of pattern makers that are here.
01:14
New York is an incredible place to start
01:16
a business, incredible diversity, incredible food,
01:19
incredible community.
01:20
And it's been amazing.

01:25
Fashion is so powerful.
01:27
It's so powerful, from an economic perspective,
01:30
from a job building perspective, from a career building
01:33
perspective, from the way you conduct yourself,
01:35
and how you create great dynamic energy around you
01:37
because you're wearing something that makes you feel good.
01:40
I mean, it's extraordinary, really, from A to Z.
