In STRAIGHT TRIPPIN', OC friends and family share tidbits from their latest travels. This time around, KARA designer Sarah Law shares her snaps from a recent trip to Vieques, Puerto Rico with the CFDA Fashion Incubator!
Name: Sarah Law
Occupation: Creative Director/Founder of KARA
Travel destination: Vieques, Puerto Rico
Carry-on necessities: Sunglasses and ukulele
Reading materials: Galápagos by Kurt Vonnegut
Most over-played tracks on your iPod this trip: "Let's Go Trippin'," "Misirlou," and a few other 1960s Dick Dale singles.
Favorite outfit to travel in: L.L.Bean thermal shirt—great for the NYC cold and an easy layer for a breeze in warmer climates.
Highlight of your trip: Late night bonding by the fire pit!
Souvenirs you brought back: Coqui Fire Hot Sauce
Can you tell us a bit about the CFDA Incubator? How did you get involved? The CFDA selects ten emerging brands to participate every two years and we are the third incubator group. We are paired with NYU MBAs and CFDA members who work with us to grow our brands. I have been super lucky to have Steven Alan as a mentor. Roopal Patel and Tomoko Ogura recommended me to the program.
What's something you've learned so far from being part of this group? I am excited about the direction of American design and it's promising to see so many female entrepreneurs (eight of the ten companies in the Incubator are founded by women!).
What was this trip for? W Hotels will support us over the next two years with trips and events. The weekend was a kick-off meeting to learn about W Hotels and spend time with other members from the Incubator, CFDA, and BMF Media.
Any other CFDA Incubator trips you're looking forward to? There are a few in the US and internationally, and I am looking forward to all of them!
