Emily Current and Meritt Elliott are female founders, celebrity stylists, and dear friends of mine. These are the boss babes behind THE GREAT, a fully-realized and cozy women's wear collection, and their passion for inclusivity and collaboration carries through to the brand. These two have also dressed some of our favorites, like Jessica Alba and Reese Witherspoon.
But best of all, Em and Meritt are health-conscious moms who are super down to earth — and who decided to take on the world together as best friends!
