Lisa Revol¶
Lisa Revol made an exchange in India. She was disappointed: local shops were invaded by fast fashion. She had her own clothes made by local designers. This was the starting point for Azaadi : she realized she could develop a brand working with Indian designers. Lisa did not know anything about clothes creation and production. Forming a complementary team had a significant impact on Azaadi’s success.

Eugenie Puzzuoli¶
She graduated from a business school and had no fashion background. This lack of knowledge allowed her to think outside the box. Mood’s bras do not have staples but rulers to self-adjust to everyone. At first, no supplier was convinced by it. She was right to insist: customers enjoy this ruler system, and Mood has extremely low return rates.
