Today, her company EZ Threadz uses local fabrics as well as material from as far away as Japan.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>I spent about 3.5 days with Inez filming different parts of her life&#8211;working in her apartment, picking out fabrics, visiting\u00a0her boutique retailer, running production orders at the garment factory and finding time to grab a sandwich at the corner deli. \u00a0Inez showed me that running your own business is a 24 hour job! There is always something to work on or think about when trying to grow your brand. \u00a0One of the most valuable things I took away from our conversations\u00a0was how to balance integrity and values in the choices to grow capital and business. There can be no entrepreneur without passion, and there can be no business without money.<\/p>\n<p>Whether you&#8217;re interested in the fashion industry or not, Inez&#8217;s story is an inspiration for all dreamers and aspiring entrepreneurs looking to create their own frequency.\u00a0Enjoy!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/apa.si.edu\/now\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2014\/05\/Screen-Shot-2014-05-14-at-12.16.53-PM.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-90\" src=\"https:\/\/apa.si.edu\/now\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2014\/05\/Screen-Shot-2014-05-14-at-12.16.53-PM.png\" alt=\"Screen Shot 2014-05-14 at 12.16.53 PM\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" srcset=\"https:\/\/apa.si.edu\/now\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2014\/05\/Screen-Shot-2014-05-14-at-12.16.53-PM.png 1920w, https:\/\/apa.si.edu\/now\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2014\/05\/Screen-Shot-2014-05-14-at-12.16.53-PM-800x450.png 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/apa.si.edu\/now\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2014\/05\/Screen-Shot-2014-05-14-at-12.13.09-PM.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-89\" src=\"https:\/\/apa.si.edu\/now\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2014\/05\/Screen-Shot-2014-05-14-at-12.13.09-PM.png\" alt=\"EZthreadz\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" srcset=\"https:\/\/apa.si.edu\/now\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2014\/05\/Screen-Shot-2014-05-14-at-12.13.09-PM.png 1920w, https:\/\/apa.si.edu\/now\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2014\/05\/Screen-Shot-2014-05-14-at-12.13.09-PM-800x450.png 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In celebration of APA Heritage Month, we&#8217;ve collaborated with Studio APA and Hyphen Magazine to present Maker&#8217;s Lane, a webseries directed and produced by NYC-based artist Sahra Vang Nguyen.
