She sat down with us to talk about her journey in the nearly $4 trillion USD E-commerce industry, where she’s managed to sell over 2000 units in a short period of time by reassuring people of their worth.

What made you choose the name Hawt Shxt

Actually, the name chose me. For a long time, my cousin called me hot shit in an effort to make fun of me in a playful way. After a while, it just stuck. I eventually made @Hawtshxt my social media handle & people naturally began to call me it as well. It became my moniker.

Tell us about the brand. When did you decide to create this lifestyle company

Hawt shxt is a brand that encompasses  self love, and the spreading of positive vibes. It was created after realizing that my purpose has always been the same– to always push the notion of being yourself, helping others, and staying genuine. in 2018, I launched HAWT shxt, It was created with intentions of encouraging self-love & acceptance and living life to the fullest. reclaiming self confidence is the new initiative that the brand has since relaunched with.

the brand highlights the importance of preserving what makes you happy. What started as just limited tees capturing dope moments from my lifestyle, has grown into a full apparel company, complete with branded- streetwear and athleisure peices, including socks, leggings, hoodies & bags. 

 

How many E-commerce sales did you make your first release

 

 I made over 50 sales overnight selling t shirts I had barely thought of designing.  

What’s the mission of your company 

 

The mission is to encourage self love and confidence.

Is HAWT SHXT only for women?

Hawt shxt is all inclusive, apparel for men, women and children interested in edgy comfortable wear.  

Where do you see yourself in 5 years 

 

I see myself as a proud, successful entrepreneur working on more ways to impact my community and the world at large. I will be the first millionaire in my family and I will use my platforms to achieve that goal. 

what are some obstacles as a new face in the growing apparel industry

 

The obstacles that I currently face in my industry is the necessity to stay in the loop. For instance The fashion and creative industry is always changing, so its a must that I know the trends and events going on in the industry to stay ahead of the curve. 

 There is also always the obstacle of finding and maintaining great relationships with vendors, customers, and always staying engaged with the target demographic.

But what these people fail to consider is the determination and years of hard work these people have put in before getting to where they are today.

We had the pleasure of sitting down with Anahys Ramos, one such content creator. With a 20k strong following on Instagram that is growing by the day, Anahys is definitely getting there. Her blog has a focus on design, creation and basically everything fashion. She is a driven young woman who has so far collaborated with big name brands, such as Macy’s and Farmrio.

We enjoy seeing what drives such people and what they’ve learned in their journey so far, because it’s something we feel our followers can relate to.

“I stopped doing many things out of fear but then I understood that it was my worst enemy, so I studied a little more and dared even more. We must leave fear behind,” says ramos

Originally from Venezuela, she relocated to Miami, in order to be closer to one of the biggest fashion cities in the world.

“As a content creator, social media platforms are a fundamental part of my life, thanks to the support of social media, I can do what I like.”

Anahys was fascinated with fashion from a very young age, filling entire notebooks with sketches and drawings. Like many little girls all across the globe, she dreamed of one day becoming a creator and seeing her own designs worn by top-models at Fashion Week, as well as being sold in stores.

But imagine the competitions, when thousands of little kids all share your dream and basically want to do what you’re doing. Young Anahys knew that if she wanted to truly make it, she would have to be smart about it, so she began growing a social media presence, understanding that platforms like Instagram are the future and can pave your way to the life you wish to have.

For years, she posted consistently and applied herself to understanding just how social media can be used to your advantage, and she did all this beside her work in studying and creating fashion. Somehow, she managed to become a graduate in Culinary Arts, as well, so obviously a highly motivated person, whom we encourage you to follow on IG!

When asked what she would say to young people out there, who dream of making it big (not only in the fashion world), she says “If it makes you happy then you are correct.”

Make sure you stay up to date with all things Anahys on social media @anahysramos
