The New Zealander-Taiwanese founder of Gia Kuan Consulting didn't always fit into fashion, which is part of what makes her so good at her job.
Toward the end, I started working at Comme des Garçons, and it became my first-ever job. I was there for six years. When I first joined, it was a very small team of only four or five people in the U.S., including sales and PR.

That's so dull. She was always into this idea of a spiced-up guest list, and so was I.
, who was one of my old colleagues, had his namesake brand and asked me to help him connect with a few people. Those little email introductions were how it all started. I was just helping a friend here and there.
