Influential Fashion with Andy Torres, founder of StyleScrapbook

How far can your dreams take you?

Our guest today, Andy Torres is what people would call a go-getter. The precise embodiment of perseverance and resilience.

Andy is the founder of StyleScrapbook – a curated fashion blog focused on presenting fashion in a relatable, inspiring, and affordable way.
Her resume includes working as a host for Cosmopolitan TV and E! Entertainment Television series “ELLE Mexico Diseña”. She has also collaborated with several brands including Dior, Louis Vuitton, Burberry, Levi’s, Nike, Reebok, to name a few.

But 14 years ago the landscape was completely different. Andy started her blog out of finding herself unemployed, with big aspirations yet very few people believed in her potential.

Despite the roadblocks, she managed to keep her lively spirit alive and become one of the most successful fashion bloggers worldwide.

In today’s episode, Andy tells it all! From where she grew up and what motivated her to work in fashion, to the dark moments she has been through in the industry.

“I am so much more than just a content creation machine”.
