From Corporate America to Parisian Dreams: A Lawyer’s Journey to Fashion Entrepreneurship
After five years in France, a former lawyer is charting a new course, driven by a desire for personal fulfillment and a burgeoning fashion brand. Having left behind the structured world of corporate America, she’s now focused on building her fashion label, Adriel Felise, and establishing herself as a full-time content creator.
Her initial move to Paris was motivated by a desire for a different lifestyle, even if it meant a higher cost of living. “I’ve done it cheaper, 100%, but my view is that I don’t know when I will leave, so I want to have things the way I want them,” she explains.
Now, after three years in her current apartment, she’s reignited her search for a property to purchase. Her initial foray into the market two years ago was put on hold due to what she perceived as inflated prices. However, with encouragement from friends who have recently bought in the city, she’s re-committed to the process.”Finding the right place will be a grind, but I am tired of renting in Paris,” she states, emphasizing her need for more space and her aspiration to welcome a dog into her life.
Beyond the city limits, her long-term vision includes acquiring a home in the French countryside. “I don’t think it would be nice to put a dog like a golden retriever in central Paris, where he doesn’t have a backyard, so that is my dream,” she shares, highlighting her desire for a more expansive environment for a future pet.
Sanders is self-funding the development of her fashion brand, Adriel Felise, covering the costs of initial samples and prototypes. Her aspiring goal is to secure at least $2 million in funding and have her debut 10-piece collection ready for release in 2026.
Reflecting on her decision to relocate,she expresses no regrets about leaving the United States. “I can’t live there. I can’t function like that. I can’t go back to corporate America and holding my tongue every five seconds every day,” she asserts. She even wishes she had made the leap sooner, perhaps after her first semester of law school, to pursue a path more aligned with her entrepreneurial spirit.
