“的 fashion industry is notoriously hard to break into, 这一直是我关心的问题,布里门说. “然而, knowing that I am being backed not only by Marist Fashion, 还有时尚奖学金基金, has given me a sense of hope and confidence as I’m preparing to step into the industry and start my career.”

A native of Massachusetts, Breemen ’23 is an honors student who is also involved with MPorium, an entrepreneurial student-run retail boutique at Marist, and a member of the e-commerce team. 从小就开始, she said she always had an opinion about what she was wearing and loved spending time shopping with her mother. Her love for clothes evolved into an appreciation for the industry as a whole.

She submitted her winning case study for the scholarship opportunity in her junior year, an intense process involving hours of hard work and meetings with 丽贝卡·布朗教授, Professional Lecturer of 时尚的商品. Breemen’s case study focused on fast fashion giant Zara, where she developed a solution for the brand to rethink its business model to operate more sustainably.

“I flew to New York City during my time studying abroad in Italy this past spring to attend the gala, where scholars get to network with industry professionals and celebrate their awards,23岁的布里曼说. “It was there that I happened to connect with the chief stores officer at Macy’s, which is how I ended up getting my foot in the door and ultimately working as a buying intern over the summer in Macy’s corporate 销售 program in New York City.”

“Madi is an extremely hardworking individual who is a pleasure to mentor and work with,” said Brown. “She has taken on a lead role in MPorium in our e-commerce division and is working on her honors thesis to introduce SMS messaging to our customers. Madi embraces all of the opportunities that both the Marist Fashion Program and FSF have presented to her and will have a successful future in the fashion industry.”
