Another week means another Weekly Catch. For this edition, we got a mix of model and fashion news with one otterlicious house in The Hamptons, along with a sailing race and there’s even more to be read.
Grab your coffee and let’s get this edition of Weekly Catch underway.
Models
Natasha Oakley and Devin Brugman
Shared details on their brands, A Bikini A Day, Monday Swimwear and Monday Active to Forbes. The friends spoke about their entrepreneurial upbringing and their passion that drives them. As for the success they have seen, especially since launching A Bikini A Day in 2012, Natasha had this to say.
“We have a strong message, one that has been consistent, relatable and speaks a truth that everyone wants to hear. Our story is one of friendship, entrepreneurialism, travel and style. It has created something both inspiring and achievable and hopefully something that can help push people in the directions they want to go.”
Natasha continued, “And our follower feedback, from the numbers of followers to the comments they say – are showing us that the message is really getting across and spurring people onto do amazing things. It’s about more than numbers for us, it’s about empowerment – and so responses like that make us so happy.”
