We had the good fortune of connecting with David Abou Chehadeh and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi David, can you walk us through the thought-process of starting your business?

I had always dreamed of working for myself. Being passionate about fashion in general and (clothing and accessories) in particular; I decided to start my own business, because I was called to buy back my time and pursue other dreams. Dreams that would provide products and a brand experience that would enhance another woman’s life and lifestyle.

It was during my corporate job that I started thinking about creating my own brand; and as being a business development manager and expert marketer for many years in the luxury field, I decided to create my own fashion brand that I aimed it to be more than just a design, yet, a great experience that empowers women in revealing their true power and style. I select designs that reflect my vision about each women character and personality.

STYLORD Boutique is an online/retail clothing and accessories boutique that believes ambitious and passionate women deserve luxury garments that offer flexibility and versatility to their wardrobes. It should allow them to effortlessly command any work or pleasure engagement whether they are going for “casually elegant” or “subtly sexy.” Style Intent seeks to celebrate the rich history and cultural impact of women.

The girls who rock our styles are fashionistas, adventurous, confident, and inspirational.

The best lessons I’ve ever learned were through my own failures. I think it’s important to fail but more important to recognize there’s a learning opportunity in failure.

One of the hardest lessons I’ve learned, or had to make peace with, is that your greatest support will come from the ones you least expect. It’s the people that you never knew were watching that will be your biggest source of referrals and encouragement while some of the closest ones stay quiet.

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?

I would not have even received this shoutout had I not listened to that inner voice and followed it here. So let’s start there!

There are so many people that mentored and inspired me along the way, and continue to do so, but especially the strong family I grew up surrounded by. They taught me resilience and that’s necessary in business. My friends who continued to support me through all the ups and downs. Plus anyone that has ever believed in my success & that I’ve met along the way.

A special thanks goes to all those clients in the early development stage and our current loyal clients who have entrusted STYLORD in selecting their outfits. The best is yet to come!
