"My mother worked multiple jobs just to keep us afloat and make sure that I had everything, but also that I wasn't counted out because of what I did and didn't have access to," shared Enrique Melendez, "and by shopping at Marshalls, I was able to have access to brands or premium products that I would see on either television, music videos, or fashion magazines."
For Molly Dickson, the partnership is a way to let her followers in on her best-kept shopping secrets. "When I moved to New York as a fashion assistant, I would shop at Marshalls, and now, I still find myself shopping at Marshalls. Where else can I get a luxury handbag and a good pair of jeans that are up to my standards in quality with amazing prices?"
As for Zerina Akers, "It's really fun to be able to partner with Marshalls. Fashion has been gatekept for so long, and it's shifting into a way where it's really in the hands of the consumer now."
