The words girl power and lady boss don’t begin to capture the amount of passion and energy that exude from Christene Barberich and Piera Gelardi, co-founders of Refinery29.
Over the past week, the dynamic duo have been hopping from classroom to classroom in hopes of establishing personal relationships with students; it’s been confirmed that Barberich will become a mentor here at SCAD.
On Tuesday, February 29th, Barberich and Gelardi attended Writing for Fashion, a class taught by SCAD professor Gioia Diliberto. The two provided insight on how their rapidly growing company works – instigating conversation where there isn’t one, and establishing a voice that represents and encourages women from every background.
