MEET: Kayla Jagusch
Kayla Jagusch is a boss babe in NYC who loves creating and is inspired by the world around her. I had the opportunity to ask Kayla some questions, so we could get to learn more about the face behind @shoetalknyc. (If you haven’t checked out her IG & site, go do that. I promise you won’t be disappointed)
Where Did you go to college?
Philadelphia University, I have my B.S. in Textile Design
How did you get into your business?
Shoe Talk was a Senior Thesis Project I started in college…
I got into my business after leaving my job at Louis Vuitton. I had stepped down from my corporate life and began creating again. Soon after my departure, I received a check in the mail on my 24 th birthday from DKNY (long story behind that - but I interned there in 2015). I decide it was fate & perfect timing…That was my push to invest into my creations and start selling my goods.
