Jia Wertz: The Pitch

Jia Wertz: The Pitch

Jia Wertz, founder of Studio 15, is a former corporate fashion veteran who left to start her own philanthropic fashion company after volunteering in Uganda to help local women who were trying to develop sustainable businesses. “I came back to work at my corporate fashion job and thought ‘this is not what I want to do,’ so I quit cold turkey to start my fashion brand,” Wertz said.br br The curated selection you’ll find on the site focuses on three things: everything is fully lined, the price points are affordable, $50 to $100, and 5 percent of the proceeds go to the female entrepreneurs in Uganda who Wertz met in 2013.
