Kathy Ireland: Fashion Model to Role Model
Saturday September 16, 2006
You'll want to be sure to read my inspirational conversation with Kathy Ireland, a successful fashion model beginning in her teen years and now a role model for working moms and an inspiration for anyone who wants to start a home business or who wants to be successful and feel fulfilled in any aspect of life.
Starting with a line of fashion designed socks, Kathy Ireland Worldwide has grown to offering design solutions for the entire home as well as solutions to problems for working moms - whom she describes as all moms, whether they get a paycheck or not. Her company, Kathy Ireland Worldwide, which is still considered a small business with a staff of 37, has now sold over 100 million pairs of socks. Her book, Powerful Inspirations, Eight Lessons That Will Change Your Life has been highly acclaimed by notables such as Bill Cosby, Eunice Kennedy Shriver, Jaclyn Smith, Rev. Robert Schuller, Jessica Simpson and countless others.
Our one-on-one conversation was truly inspiring and provides some insight to this amazing woman's success, her deeply-rooted faith, and how she has overcome seemingly insurmountable challenges and obstacles to achieve her goals and maintain a strong work-life balance.

To both itsme and Mark - Kathy has a store locater on her website at http://www.kathyireland.com/StoreLocator/Default.aspx
Be sure to make a selection for distance from your zip code or you’ll get all the listings regardless of location.
Additionally, Googled “kathy ireland apparel” with some decent results. I even saw an aritlce that mentioned that KMart was picking up her line of apparel.

Is it true that Kathy Ireland has a line of jewelry?
Yes, it is true that she has a linke of jewelry. On the last page of my interview you can see where she told me about the jewelry line she was developing with Dame Elizabeth Taylor. Information about the jewelry is available on Kathy’s website at: http://www.kathyireland.com/StoreLocator/products.aspx
Just select products from the drop-down list there.

I love Kathy and everything she is doing! I love her candles and slowly but surely my house is being filled with her beautiful furniture.
I was very impressed with knowing Kathy is a Christian.. We need more roll models like her !!!!!
I would love to be a modle but I have like no money but I have the look and the want. What should I do I am 14 and looking for a future?? please email me I need help.
Joslyn, I’m guessing you were looking for a response to your question from Kathy. You can submit your question to her by going to www.kathyireland.com. Click on the Contact Us link at the bottom of the page and then click on the Kathy Ireland link on the contact page. While I’m not sure if Kathy will answer your question directly herself (she very well may), you can safely submit your email address to Kathy Ireland without revealing it to the entire world. Unfortunately, there are too many predators lurking on the web who would love to “help” a 14 year-old who has no money and wants to be a model. Stay safe and good luck with your dreams!
