It’s personal things like that that just makes this line and these clothes so unique and special.
I remember being inspired to create a color palette for a collection I was launching after going on a trip the aquarium with my two kids. I am really inspired by anything visually stimulating! Art, interior design, nature, sunsets, my kid’s watercolors, etc. At least that was in my prayers every night, and still is! I honestly just felt like the industry was kind of stale, and that if I could bring my personality to a clothing line that people would really respond to it. I was the stylist of the group in high school…in fact, my friends still call/text me today to help them put outfits together. Making people look good and feel good is my passion and I always believed that the right ensemble could do that. I would see things and think to myself “ Oh if I could add this to that or switch it up or change the color or fabric that it would be much better!” I didn’t see any great bodies or outstanding prints. I realized a real lack of contemporary collections that I felt any passion for at the time. When people ask what led me to start the clothing label, I think it was simple. Once we decided to start a business, I couldn’t get that name out of my head. After our post-college travels subsided, we ended up reconnecting, falling in love and built not only a business but a life together! Long story short, my family always referred to Buddy as “BuddyLove” all through grade school. We were friends forever and even kept tabs on each other when I went off to TCU and he settled into Texas State. Well, my now husband and I met in the fifth grade. Now, you may be wondering why it’s called BuddyLove. After that, it was all about showrooms before I eventually started BuddyLove! There, I worked for Charles Jourdan and Kurt Geiger.
I did styling and PR internships for Nicole Miller in NYC before heading to London. “I loved to travel and always had a passion for the fashion industry, so I decided to combine the two early on in my career. We got to know the BuddyLove brand via owner, Grayson DiFonzo, and can’t wait to share more about the brand.īeing raised in a small town in Texas, Grayson always knew she wanted to go out and see the world. Our hearts have landed on one that we can’t go without sharing, the only and only BuddyLove. With as fast as the fashion world moves, it can be tough to keep a healthy mix of classic and trendy lines. If there’s one thing we know about boutique owners, its that they are always on the hunt for the next big line to add to their collection.
