Break out your trench coats and knitted scarves. The forecast predicts there is going to be “Wend,” and lots of it.
Fashion executive Wendy Franklin has manifested her elite experiences in the fashion industry through two concepts consistency and passion. Her passion for fashion has landed her positions with some of the most notable fashion organizations throughout the world, such as Puma, Steve Madden and New York Fashion Week.
Although she is soaring at new heights across the fashion industry, Franklin always circles back to the city where her legacy first began, Houston. Franklin is the co-founder of the Houston-based footwear company, HerGrails (formally known as SneakHer Summit). HerGrails uses its platform to empower women while bringing fashions for “her” to the forefront.
