45. Starting a Business with Your Best Friend in Your Twenties with Co-Founders of No Standing NYC Sari & Helena

Hello and welcome back to Fashion Founders the Podcast. My name is Victoria Smith and this week I am joined with Helena and Sari, the co-founders of No Standing NYC. No Standing is a luxury vintage and secondhand store with curated pieces at an accessible price.

You can find their stunning store in the heart of Soho and browse some amazing vintage selections curated from around the world. With pieces you may have seen on Alix Earle, Your Rich BFF, and other celebrities. 

Sari and Helena have a lot of fun stories of building a business in your 20s with your best friend. From cornering Daniel Bernstein of WeWoreWhat in the bathroom, giving out free product to the girls of the bachelor, and visiting vintage warehouses in Europe. 

Whether you're interested in learning more about entrepreneurship or curating vintage pieces from around the world, listen to this episode. If you’re the type of person that every time you hang out with that one friend you you’re like we need to start a business together… let this episode be your inspiration to do it.
