In honor of Hillary Kerr and Katherine Power’s new book, The Career Code: Must-Know Rules for a Strategic, Stylish, and Self-Made Career ($12), we’re running an interview series featuring 17 questions (in honor of the book’s 17 chapters) about the work lives of the most inspirational female leaders in the fashion industry. So far, we’ve tapped Yael Aflalo, Lauren Conrad, Rachel Zoe, and more. Up next? Susan Gregg Koger.
While many 17-year-olds see college as their 4-year opportunity to figure out what they want to do with the rest of their lives, Susan Gregg Koger not only knew, she made it happen. Koger founded women's retailer ModCloth in 2002 with her then-boyfriend (and now husband) as an outlet for her love of vintage shopping. They started the company in their dorm rooms at Carnegie Mellon University and she now serves as the Chief Creative Officer of the 350-employee that as of 2015, is worth $150 million.
Koger, who is now based in San Francisco, not only provides vintage-inspired fashion at a wallet-friendly price point for women around the world, she's doing her part to change the fashion industry for the better, including being the first retailer to take a no-Photoshop pledge and removing its "plus size" section in favor of adding extended sizes for many of its products.
Keep reading to hear about Koger's impressive career and get invaluable advice from this successful young fashion industry entrepreneur.
