Today we’d like to introduce you to Shalandria Mcglown.
Hi Shalandria, so excited to have you with us today. What can you tell us about your story?
Back in 2011, I realized fashion and eyewear were my love languages. Why not blend them and make a living doing what I love?! We specialize in men’s eyewear, women’s eyewear, and coming soon, children’s eyewear. Still making my childhood dreams come true in the fashion industry. Excited and ambitious to share my vision in the eyes of others.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall, and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
I added optical frames because it was necessary. I didn’t have the working capital to do so. However, it pushed my business to another clientele, showing growth doing my worst time in business. If you can’t count on anyone just know you are your best asset. The pandemic has shown me that digital marketing is so important. It helps with reaching out to customers globally.
As you know, we’re big fans of Hot Commodity EyeWear. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about the brand?
Finessing her dream for over ten years and she isn’t about to slow down. In fact, with Miami Swim Week just behind her and Paris Fashion week just ahead, we have a feeling you’re going to be seeing more of HCEW and her fashionable glasses.
Have you learned any interesting or important lessons due to the Covid-19 Crisis?
Collaboration with the designers and models. They had so much information and opportunities for me. It felt amazing to be around like-minded people.
