Leading up to the debut of her new fashion jewelry collection on QVC, Shoshanna Gruss was interviewed by Fashionista, and revealed that she and her fellow designer and mentor, Judith Ripka, share not just the same dog-walking routes on New York’s upper east side, but also the same choice of dog breeds. They both have Maltese dogs. There is little new in this short interview, but one tid-bit stands out. Shoshanna reveals that, as a young woman, she had trouble finding clothing that made her feel good, despite the benefits of a privileged upbringing. She attributes her success to the making of an inclusive fashion line that can be comfortably worn by women of all shapes and sizes.
