After working for some of fashion’s top industry retail leaders, Ashley
Ebner decided to bring together her appreciation for fashion and her
passion for design. With touches of creativity and bringing on-board
her knowledge of business, she decided to create her own business
Joker’s Closet Inc.
Joker’s Closet™ is the first ever high-fashion, custo mizable designer
footwear. The revolutionary concept allows customers to design and
customize shoes through an ecommerce platform; wait, it gets better!.
The pair of shoes are delivered to the customer’s doorstep in 3 - 4
weeks!. -Joker’s Closet™ provides creative direction to its customers by
unveiling a cutting-edge collection, along with a pallet of colors and
textures each season for the customer to experiment or play withsays Ashley.
Being the president and CEO of an emerging company is certainly
not an easy role -I’m a perfectionist at all times but I’m also a very
curious person. I love exploring new concepts which ends up translating into my business mindset. I’m also considered to myself and
allow myself some down time. Spinning every day is my outlet; I’m
not calm enough for yoga!”- says Ashley.
With her mother as inspiration, Ashley woke up one morning and
knew that Joker’s Closet was the dream turned goal, she had been
looking for. With a beautiful collection and a stunning advertising
campaign featuring Canadian supermodel Irina Lazareanu, Ashley
continues in the journey to success while strutting at a firm pace.
Ashley’s 3 Goals to Achieve in the Next 5 Years:
- Continue to launch exciting inspiring collections
- Collaborate with industry leaders; and
- Launch another concept (I have other ideas brewing!)
Health Tip- I strongly believe that a creative mind eases stress and it
is the healthiest alternative to anything.
Favorite Quote - As Brian Eno says, “…The big mistake is to just
wait for inspiration to happen. It won’t come looking for you. You
have to start doing something: you have to build a trap and catch it”.
