We started using the hashtag #VLgirls because we began to notice that people would just call us "the Velvet Lounge girls" or "those Velvet Lounge girls." You know, "the Velvet Lounge girls are at Tasting Room happy hour again" or "Yeah I know her, she's friends with all those Velvet Lounge girls." We would like to think that Velvet Lounge, and being a #VLgirl is more than just a shop/working downtown, but a lifestyle. A lifestyle that has been cultivated by all the bad ass babes that are a part of VL. Since we've been rolling hard with our #VLgirl hashtag, we figured we might as well introduce you to all the #VLgirls. Starting with Madison......
Fierce is an understatement when it comes to our girl Madison. Madison has been with the Velvet Lounge for almost 10 years now, we like to hang on to the good ones! She started as a high school intern and continued working with us throughout her academic career at LIM College where she majored in fashion merchandising. During her time in New York, Madison was the product development and design intern for Colette Malouf. She even had two of her pieces published in Vogue....No biggie..... ;) Not only does she have a LIM degree under her belt but she is also a graduate from the Paul Mitchell School and is now a hair stylist at DNa Lab. She still works at the Velvet Lounge (visit her on Tuesday nights) and is an accessories buyer for the store. Buyer, hair stylists, Vogue published.... If it's one thing #VLgirls know how to do it's hustle! We had Madison fill out a quirky questionnaire for you guys, read her awesome answers below!
P.S. Thanks Brad Barnwell for all the beautiful pics!
