When teen sisters Brooke and JoJo cleaned their bedroom, they filled up bags with unwanted clothes. As they prepared to pull the stuff to a charity house for women and children, they stopped, thinking there had to be a better way. That's how SheStyles was born.
Instead of picking through piles of those unwanted, young girls and women in need of clothing can now look through restored, pressed and even new clothes on the third shelf at pop-up shops(快闪店). The shoppers get assistance from JoJo and Brooke and from personal stylists who've volunteered.
The SheStyles way offers girls real life shopping trips but with one difference: everything is always free. "I was stressing out about what was going to happen to these donation bags," explained Brooke, now 18. "In my head, the clothing donation process was not as personal as you wanted it to be." "We tend to target teen girls," said JoJo, now 16, but only 14 when the nonprofit began. "We understand what it's like to be a teen girl and how clothing can play a big part in her self-confidence."
With the help of their mother, Shari Friedman, who is knowledgeable about the business of charity, the nonprofit has held seven pop-up clothing giveaways over two years. Brentwood School the two girls attend started a
school club where they found volunteers to support the nonprofit. They held their largest event on April 27 at the William Mead Homes in Los Angeles, where about 82 shoppers picked out clothes and most left with several bags full. "With every girl we work with, we are doing more than putting clothes on her back," said Shari. "We are making a memory for her. Hopefully, she feels really special."
The name SheStyles represents them as girls and that "she" is helping other girls. And it also refers to shoppers on the receiving end who don't just get a bag of clothes to wear, but instead get particular items that fit their own taste and "styles". "It has a hidden meaning: girls empowering girls," said JoJo.
