I first met Stefani ten years ago when she was at the helm of “The Ultimate Closet”, SCOOP NYC. The 14 boutiques she founded changed the way trendy girls shop… and certainly also changed the destiny of KOTUR. Stefani was the first to carry KOTUR in her boutiques, and has remained a supportive colleague, friend and “Ultimate Muse” ever since.
Ever the innovator, Stefani has gone on to chief many projects, including “Curations by Stefani Greenfield” on HSN, and her jet-set-hippie-chic collection with Desiree Gruber, “Theodora and Callum”. She manages to fit in charity projects, television appearances and a formidable CCO position with Jones Group, all while being ultimate mom to protege, Theodora.
