15. The Best Friendpreneurs (& Moms) behind THE GREAT - with Emily Current + Meritt Elliott #FabulousFriends
Emily Current and Meritt Elliott are female founders, celebrity stylists, and dear friends of mine. These are the boss babes behind THE GREAT, a fully-realized and cozy women's wear collection, and their passion for inclusivity and collaboration carries through to the brand. These two have also dressed some of our favorites, like Jessica Alba and Reese Witherspoon.
