This month, Sandy Chilewich, founder of the New York based design studio Chilewich, will share with us how she continues to discover ways to push textiles beyond their comfortable and sometimes monotonous context.
This month we're also doing another giveaway and you can get all the details here at my Apartment Therapy post:
“ I actually was quite inspired by Sandy Chilewich and especially the arc of her career. I am also an entrepreneur and just closed a business, Superdeluxe, and many of her comments resonated with me. I understood many of her issues when she spoke of taking something to market, capital needs and how she deals with ditribution (Georgia, for example).
I am new to these meetups and I am hooked and can't wait for September's meetup!

“ This meetup was informative, inspiring and entertaining. It was my first time and I loved the question and answer format. Sandy Chilewich was phenomenal. I am looking forward to September's meetup date. ”
“ so glad i finally motivated for a meetup!
sandy and i were neighbors at a tradeshow a few years back. i'm a jewelry designer with a wicked DIY streak (i'm just about to gut my kitchen) so imagine my glee upon hearing sandy explain how she got started...jewels, bloomingdales, maryjanes, grace mirabella, tights, vats of dye, HUE, selling her company...absolutely brilliant!
the main thoughts i took away were to always be inspired, stay experimental and that it really doesn't matter how winding your road is, as long as you stay true to your design philosopy. keep your product evolving and focus on longevity.
the AT team was super-friendly as well with the crowd. i was happy to see the snacks! the locations was pretty spectacular, too. my gaze kept drifting over to the terrace behind maxwell + sandy and i was wondering who lived where the laterns were blowing in the breeze.
well done AT. ;-) ”
“ Sandy Chilewich was a great, great speaker! Fascinating story, and a humorous, engaging speaker. Very inspiring. Max is a great host. Thank you Max! ”
“ It was a really good experience. I don't know much about Chilewich but wanted to come to find out. The story from Hue to Chilewich was inspiring. The Moderator was quite funny too. I'll attend the next event in Sept. if i'm free. ”
“ Max leads a casual good interview - and of course Sandy tells a great story with very valuable business insights. A terrific choice for the new and seasoned audience ”
“ After working with Sandy Chilewich for several years and closely enjoying the brillance of her ability to create product, it was delightful to hear her discuss her whole story. I believe it would have been such for those who didn't know her as closely as I do. I have always delighted being on her team. ”
