Instead of letting ridicule for their boy band T-shirts, posters and accessories alter their style choices, two One Direction fans decided to turn their interests into a business platform.
History and government sophomore Nishiki Maredia and her business partner Angela Jin, a management junior at Boston College, started a clothing line called 1950 Collective in January which now boasts $100,000 in revenue. They sell T-shirts, sweatshirts, flannels and iPhone cases with different prints for young women.
Each month, they donate 10 percent of their clothing line’s profits to a different organization that advocates women empowerment. This month’s donations will be going to the National Alliance on Mental Illness.
