Coming from a small town in South Dakota \u201cwhere the only fashionable thing was overalls,\u201d Julie Hutton\u2019s big break in fashion came when she moved to New York and landed her first job as a graphic designer at Macy\u2019s. She was fired the same day, but she didn\u2019t give up. \u201cA guy I knew said, \u2018I\u2019ve seen you around and like the way you dress. Do you think you can design a collection for me?\u2019 I said yes, which was a total lie.\u201d Hutton sketched out 12 pieces for his spring collection, and one of the dresses ended up on the cover of Women\u2019s Wear Daily<\/em>. \u201cThey made me the head designer,\u201d the 62-year-old entrepreneur recalls, \u201cand made the head designer my assistant.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Julie<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t act out of fear. Don\u2019t let it dictate the decisions that you make. Fear can work to your advantage. It can be a tremendous motivator.<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Hutton went on to design private-label garments for major department stores and launched her own personal line, Julie Hutton<\/a>, in 2008. Business boomed from the very beginning. \u201cThe door blew out,\u201d says the WeWork 5th Ave<\/a> member. \u201cI was getting more emails and phone calls than I could imagine.\u201d After some challenges working with overseas factories, she moved her production stateside. \u201cWe\u2019re in the factories every day,\u201d she says, \u201cand we have the best people to run the best machinery.\u201d And having more control over the finished product helps her reach her goal of \u201ccreating something that looks just fabulous.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
