By applying US military construction techniques to the silhouettes of the late 90’s &amp; early 2000’s, the brand offers a high-end update to an otherwise classic garment style. The details behind each garment are thoughtful &amp; purposeful – from the iridescent hardware resembling an oil spill at the family-owned auto body shop to the logo itself, created from Alex’s father’s signature. Each garment is meant to be purchased &amp; worn for years then handed down to the next generation, creating a timeless classic that only gets better with age.MAUREEN BARILLARO - I LOVE MY NIGHTYMaureen designed something better than a crummy old t-shirt after a lifetime of wearing frumpy pajamas during the long, cold New England winters. With no experience in fashion design, she set out to &quot;take back the nighty&quot; and solve the frump slump: the pervasive fashion faux pas of wearing unattractive clothes in the confines of home, because that&#x27;s all that feels comfortable. Her designs are both feminine and flexible, so now you can be cozy and stylish in clothing designed for relaxing, focusing on yourself and preparing for your beauty rest. I Love My Nighty isn&#x27;t about fashion or a trend. What started as a way to fulfill a need for something she felt was missing, has now became a starting point for a conversation about women&#x27;s health– how we feel, how we look, and how we treat ourselves. It&#x27;s created an opportunity to educate women and girls about the importance of health and wellness, not only for ourselves but for our sisters across the globe and the greatest female of all– Mother Earth! All aspects of her business take the environmental impacts into consideration.Maureen has spent her career as a video producer and editor and loves using story as part of the I Love My Nighty brand. Enjoy tonight&#x27;s look at the &quot;Nighty Life&quot; and learn how her clothing can help you dream lovelier!KAREN FABBRI - KFF CONSULTINGWith over 25 years of business and marketing experience, Karen Fabbri works with small businesses to define their brand, articulate their larger business goals, and create marketing, branding, and comminucations programs to help them succeed.
