For my artist talk I interviewed Lyn Page, co owner of Clementine, Ashby, and Clover in Carytown. One of my main take aways from the conversation is that if you work with the community you serve they'll help and support your business as well. Also taking chances can lead to really good unexpected possibilities. I also learned that second hand fashion has been around for a while and is not going away any time soon. I was really surprised of all the different ways her businesses are connected to the community, either through reaching out to VCU students for design, providing new stores based on customer needs, donating funds to the community, or even just hiring local students. I learned a lot about the differences in the types of second hand sale that I didn't realize before.
