“As a lot of people are returning to the office or workplace, it’s more important now than ever for women to challenge industry norms,” Monica Rose said. “I loved partnering with Foot Locker and these women to do just that, curating the best type of look for their career and personality. I hope it inspires all women to dress for themselves and not according to others’ expectations.”
“The Foot Locker team is proudly committed to continuing its support and celebration of women-identifying individuals and brands who are paving the way in their careers and communities,” Vice President of Marketing at Foot Locker Holly Tedesco said. “As a brand, we strive to respect, inspire, develop and empower our consumers this Women’s History Month and beyond, and there is no better partner who represents that than Monica Rose and the work she has done in her career and in her community.”
Additionally, Foot Locker is partnering with Bottomless Closet, including a $30,000 donation to be used for year-round meaningful resources and tools all aimed to further set women up for success in all stages of their careers.
“We are thrilled to be partnering with Foot Locker and to host a virtual workshop in honor of International Women’s Day that will provide insight into opportunities within the retail industry for the women we serve,” Executive Director of Bottomless Closet Melissa Norden said. “Together, we aim to empower women as they strive to get back into the workforce, evolve to meet the needs of the post-pandemic workplace, and get on the path to self-sufficiency.”
