Rhett Eala: Fashion designer, creative director

Beginnings

I started in 1990 with Rustan’s as a designer for Due, a house label for the department store.

Challenges

There have been many. Too many to count. You just have to keep moving forward and learn from your mistakes.

Where I am now

I am a business owner and have several stores. I’m still designing for shows and for my RTW line.

Wisdom

Have passion for your work. Work hard and don’t rest on your past achievements. Always keep learning and keep your feet on the ground.
