All the Love, All the Babies: When You Start a Sustainable Fashion Line With Your Mom
The Entrepreneur Merging Sustainable Fashion and Philanthropy
We talk the complexities of the mother/daughter relationship, how Impact should be the key driver of success and what it's like to own a business that actually prospered during COVID.
Jenny Drew is the the co-founder and CEO of all the babies –– which she started with her mom, Elkin. She was born and raised in Los Angeles, CA and always had a heart for entrepreneurship. She got her bachelors from USC in Communication with a minor in Media Economics and Entrepreneurship. Jenny Drew spent her freshman year in Paris, France through a transfer program where she worked as a nanny –– this is where the the idea for all the babies began. She worked several internships throughout college all within the fashion and philanthropy world –– Including Marie Claire, The Giving Keys, TOMS, and then Sweetgreen. After getting a full time job offer, she realized her heart was pulling her to start something that combined fashion and philanthropy. She worked in retail for Glossier for a year to make ends meet while working to get her business off the ground. all the babies was launched in 2019 with a mission to give back to babies in need. Now, they offer matching adult cozies and we can’t wait to see what's to come.
