'I'M A CAPITALIST, I'm a CEO, I run a big business, I'm an employer,' says Sophia Amoruso, the 29-year-old head of Nasty Gal, the online fashion retail empire that she transformed from an eBay vintage store into a $240 million company in just seven years. 'But it's all secondary to the way it happened, because I could be anything.' 在线时装零售帝国Nasty Gal的29岁老板索菲娅?阿莫鲁索(Sophia Amoruso)说:“我是资本家,我是CEO,我开有一家大公司,我是雇主。但这一切都没有过程更重要,因为我感觉自己可以心想事成。”仅用七年时间,阿莫鲁索就把Nasty Gal从一家eBay上的旧衣网店打造成一家价值2.4亿美元(约合人民币14.7亿元)的公司。 Sitting in the back garden of New York's Crosby Street Hotel dressed in a crocheted lace dress and a trench draped over her shoulders, Amoruso is reflecting on the period of her life between age 17-when she left home in Sacramento to dumpster dive, work in record stores and side with anarchism while she floated up and down the West Coast-and 22, when she started Nasty Gal. She named the company after the song by funk musician Betty Davis, the second wife of Miles Davis. 'I've accepted what I have, and I feel like I've completely done it on my own terms,' says Amoruso, who is now based in Los Angeles. 阿莫鲁索坐在纽约克罗斯比街酒店(Crosby Street Hotel)的后花园里,身穿一件针织蕾丝裙,肩上披着一件风衣,回味着她从17岁到22岁间的那段人生。17岁时,她离开萨克拉门托(Sacramento)的老家,一边捡破烂、给唱片店打工、支持无政府主义,一边在西海岸晃荡。22岁时,她创办了“Nasty Gal”(脏女孩)公司。公司名字取自放克乐艺人、迈尔斯?戴维斯(Miles Davis)第二任妻子贝蒂?戴维斯(Betty Davis)的同名歌曲。现在常驻洛杉矶的阿莫鲁索说:“我已经接受了自己所拥有的一切,而且感觉完全是按照我自己的想法来做的。” |
