So it’s a timely moment for the arrival of a new book on creativity by record producer Frederick Jay “Rick” Rubin, a former co-president at Columbia Records with a remarkable resume of commercial and creative breakthroughs. The co-founder of Def Jam Recordings with Russell Simmons and one of the forces behind American hip-hop, Rubin and his collaborator Neil Strauss have written the new book The Creative Act: A Way of Being as an invitation to “Take art seriously without going about it in a serious way.” (p. 354)

SKIMS Co-Founder Jens Grede On Establishing A Long-Lasting Celebrity Brand
JG: It can be painful when we can’t get enough product out there. Last year we added over 11M waitlist signups. Our viral Soft Lounge Long Slip Dress alone sold over a quarter of a million units and on top of that had over a quarter of a million waitlist signups. We are finally getting into a better position, but it has taken a long time to get the supply chain to meet the challenge. Last year’s launches like Swim and Bras had a similar reception, with the most popular styles selling out within minutes. Many people think it is a strategy to be out of stock, it really isn’t; we hate to disappoint anyone out there. Good news is that we have never been in a better position than today and most of our customer favorites like Seamless Sculpt Bodysuits, Fits Everybody Bralettes, and Soft Lounge Dresses are finally in stock.

The most important thing for the team here is to create an experience that makes guests happy and to inspire our peers. And, for me personally, I would love to show my team that if you dedicate yourself and work hard, anything is achievable and that each one of them can be greater than they ever imagined.
