Rumi Neely quotes
-
“In the beginning I just was dreaming about working in fashion at all, no matter what the role would be, and it just seemed so unlikely. I was living in San Diego and it seemed so far away.”
-- Rumi Neely -
“I feel like doing basic, casual pieces and then doing really elevated, more unexpected things is becoming more possible. I feel like I do eventually want to be able to address more categories, like active or evening.”
-- Rumi Neely -
“I'm such a maniac about just having every last possible bit feel just as if so much care was put into it, and it was. It's almost like a really selfish experience to wear one of our slip dresses or one of our blouses because it's so luxurious in a secret way.”
-- Rumi Neely -
“It sounds insane, I know, but I think that - I'm so lucky because I basically am my own muse.”
-- Rumi Neely -
-
“I've been so lucky that there's been such an intense and positive response to the line. It's one of the craziest things.”
-- Rumi Neely -
“Any type of commercialization or, like I said, watering that idea down would be so damaging and frankly, be pretty uninspiring to me, because the fact that every piece is like my dream thing that I just can't get enough of and am just so excited to wear, is just the whole point of it.”
-- Rumi Neely -
“I think that for the position that I'm in the strongest thing that I can do is produce pieces that are exactly the thing that I want them to be.”
-- Rumi Neely -
“I think that our strength is actually how niche our product is, and not that it's very commercial and very similar to things that are out there already.”
-- Rumi Neely -

“It's really cool because it's all exactly my vision. I'm not watering anything down.”
-- Rumi Neely -
“I definitely think about the types of girls that I think would like a certain thing, but at the end of the day it's the most pure expression of myself, let's say, what I'm doing and what I want to create.”
-- Rumi Neely -
“I can get into my own head [and] not have to really envision that girl. I am that girl and I know what I want something to feel like and move like. It's really inspiring, of course, to see so many girls wearing the line and I love their take on it, it almost feels like this religion or something at this point. It's really exciting.”
-- Rumi Neely -
“Everything kind of was leading towards that and I had so many specific ideas always about how exactly I wanted something to look. I would customize so many things in my wardrobe that were vintage or things that I was buying, and it just really all aligned and the timing was perfect.”
-- Rumi Neely -
-
“I started my blog - never thought that would have an audience, and that turned into such a huge, life-changing career for me. I definitely wanted it, I just didn't fully plan on it, of course.”
-- Rumi Neely -
“I've always been into chokers. They're definitely having a big moment right now, and that's so cool.”
-- Rumi Neely
