Terry Pillow is a true pioneer of the fashion industry, and in this conversation, he takes us on a wonderful journey through his life. He starts with stories from his childhood in Arkansas, his first encounters with fashion, and how he ended up working for and leading fashion giants such as Ralph Lauren, Giorgio Armani, Adidas, and eventually becoming the CEO of the globally known brand, Tommy Bahamas.

All of Terry's experience has led him to start his latest fashion venture, a fine leather goods store, made in the United States in beautiful Montecito, California. He shares his vision for the brand and store and how proud he is of what is to come.

Terry's life story is an amazing reminder to stay true to what you love and are passionate about. Terry decided to follow his love for fashion, and the doors always opened at the right time. He shares incredible stories about working with legends in fashion, such as being a merchandiser for Ralph Lauren and working directly with Giorgio Armani in none other than the fashion capital of the world, Milan.

Terry also talks about the importance of being on the same page when it comes to collaborating with others, emphasizing that it is crucial to surround yourself with individuals with ambition and a similar mindset as you. It was such a pleasure getting insight from Terry when it comes to the fashion industry and life in general.
