Jimbo Williams and Aristotle Sanchez are the founders and creators of La Ropa, one of the most popular streetwear brands in the US. They sit down with Bridget to tell their story, from an art collective in Toronto, to couch surfing in New York, to the Great American Road Trip that brought them to LA. They describe operating a business while they were homeless, their lack of a Plan B, their endless ambition, and the their vision for the future of the company. They cover what older people get wrong about their generation, their desire to stay independent, how they learned to prioritize, the art of the hustle, Ralph Lauren, American stereotypes, the value of taking martial arts as children, breaking the 4th wall of fashion, and why La Ropa is always going to be an illustration of their lives.
