Company Girl: Whitney Brown Feature: Co-owner of Valentine-NYC.com and model What you generally do all day: I spend most days working from my apartment if I’m not producing a shoot for Valentine or at a modeling job. I spend a lot of time using Skype so I can talk to my business partner Paloma, who lives in LA. We’re constantly discussing branding, photography, collaborations, fabric, and production for our next Valentine project.  Describe work environment: My apartment has amazing energy and lots of space so I never feel too claustrophobic. I am always listening to my Spotify playlist (Musica Bonita), burning my Milly+Wong candle and drinking La Colombe coffee from my French press. At some point I’ll usually have a casting or a lunch meeting (Hampton Chutney or The Butchers Daughter are my favorites for lunch). And if I’m already out I’ll try to get a workout in at Body By Simone or Equinox in Soho (booty lift Wednesdays woot woot!). If it’s a really good day I’ll meet my boyfriend for drinks and dinner at Barrio Chino when he gets off work. Love me some Mexican! Go home, walk the dog, another Skype with Paloma then chill with my man. Life ain’t so bad. Clothing: Jacket: Vintage | Shirt: Vintage | Pants: Adriano Goldschmied/AG | Boots: Dolce Vita | Bag: J.

Company Girl: Louise du Toit  of Acne Title: Acne Studios Country Manager, North America.  What you generally do all day: Work! I run around, visit stores and clients, and try to make sure Acne is represented in the best way possible on shop floors as well as in press. Protector of the brand.   Describe work environment: I’m the old lady in office, believe it or not. My employees “keep me young.” Lots of rap, trap, whatever they are into. As long as everyone is happy, I’m happy. We have a beautiful office downtown. Crazy 360 views of the city. As long as we are hitting goals and budgets, the vibe is pretty relaxed. We all get along and work together to make Acne Studios what it is here in North America. Love my job.  Favorite eBay score: A red Celine scarf.
