Gabriela Neves’ Post

On my flight back from Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity, I sat next to a SpaceX aerospace engineer. We talked about how we both work a lot; we love what we do and wouldn't have it any other way. As a mom, I am always thinking about, “how can I get the work done efficiently so I can spend as much time with my family as possible?” Well, what is “work?” And that brings me to Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity. Yes, I was there for work, I met with clients and partners, I networked, I barely ate and slept (my CD and I realized at one point that we hadn’t eaten an entrée in 3 days – if anyone knows me, they know I love to eat). But considering it all, I had a shit ton of fun, maybe it’s because I get energy from being around people. Ultimately, I think it’s a combination of feeling inspired, and like my kinship with the aerospace engineer, it doesn’t feel like “work.” In the spirit of fun, which is what Factory360 was built on, we created FITS, a spotlight series on the looks that inspire us at the industry’s most coveted gatherings. Launching at the SuperBowl of our industry, Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity. Please enjoy here some standouts FITS from our friends Alia Kemet Shipt Craig Brommers American Eagle Outfitters Inc. Michelle Aragon Spectrum Julie A.
