Last weekend, we gathered the WOMO family for an intimate dinner—an evening full of laughter, connection, and fabulous food. As we prepare for our upcoming show, it felt important to slow down and connect with the team behind the magic.

We brought a Polaroid camera and asked everyone one simple question:
What do you love about World of My Own, and what part of this brand speaks to you most?

Here’s a glimpse into the people who bring this world to life—from their hearts, in their own words.

“I love WOMO because of the community & the beautiful woman & NB individuals I get to work with & get to know. Everyone is always looking to support each other and get to know each other & I feel lucky to have created an environment where we all remain curious & kind about our fellow humans.

I feel the most connected to the idea of World of My Own & the idea of living in a world of my own, we all are living in our own worlds & if I can make my world and others a brighter place that’s all I wanna do.” - Sydney, Creator, Designer, & Creative Director

“I feel connected to the soul of World of My Own. I love the community aspect, and how much we lean on each other and the skills of one another to help the brand grow. It’s not just any one person who dictates everything. Of course, there’s an overall vision that gets brought to life which comes from Syd but she’s really inclusive in that process and that experience which I think is really dope. We have a lot more community events coming up. The way we pour back into the community is what I love most about World of My Own.” - Ife, PR Director & Creative Consultant

“I feel most connected to World of My Own because of its ethos of kindness and vulnerability–there have been instances where I have even found myself putting on my fashion industry persona of being a tough cookie and then taking a step back to realize that this is not one of those spaces at all.

WOMO truly rewrites the way collectivism functions in this iconically cut-throat industry. It is not only something I admire but something I have genuinely learned from.

I mean it when I say it comes from the core–Sydney {founder} is one of the most special souls I’ve come across in this life. She exudes love and honesty. The heart of World of My Own is a pure reflection of hers.” - Nikki, Head of Production

“When I first styled a shoot for WOMO & met everyone on set for the first time it felt super sweet and welcoming, it was as if I’d known everyone forever! Watching this world expand more and more + welcoming ppl with open arms is such a beautiful experience, especially in an industry where everything can feel gate-kept. Community is super valued here and you can really feel it, I hold everyone here so dearly!!!” - Courtney, Stylist

“I love the sense of community. New York can sometimes feel lonely, but having a family at WOMO makes all the difference. Ife and Syd have created a beautiful world that always feels like coming home. I also love the creative freedom they grant us, I always feel comfortable and excited sharing any ideas or latest obsessions.” - Ginger, Social Media Team

“I would say that something I love about WOMO is that is it first and foremost a community: in working towards a creative goal together I think there is this immediate connection you feel with everyone else and it creates the most welcoming and loving environment.” - Lena, Sewing Team

“WOMO feels like home to me, like wherever I venture I always end up back here and I love that. I think it’s because of all of these amazing people, and Syd’s heart. It’s so special to me. In a lot of spaces, I feel nervous to just be myself, but somehow I always seem to feel comfortable embracing it all here. It kind of feels like a family…friendship is magic and love is awesome and there is so much of that here.” - Eloise, Styling Team & Social Media

“I love how World of My Own offers a gentle space for those with passionate souls looking to share their light with the world. Being a young woman, the diligence and creativity within the WOMO team has taught me to embrace my talents and always step forward with true intentions because everything else will fall into place beautifully.” - Makayla, PR Team

“I love how it captures the essence of girlhood, especially in New York which is where I grew up. It celebrates the softer parts of life <3” - Hayley, Production Team

“I love the World of My Own Team, everybody behind the brand is so passionate and dedicated to what they do! I’m inspired by each and every one of them, It’s been such a pleasure working with the sweetest group of people.” - Leah, Social Media Team

“I love WOMO because of the community. There’s such an emphasis on uplifting smaller creators and the voices of the people around us and I think that’s so special! So many brains and so much love goes into everything that WOMO does and it’s so awesome to be a part of!” - Zoe, Social Media Team

“I love how at World of My Own it truly feels like a community. Everyone I meet is so nice and willing to lend a hand, which is not always the case in the fashion industry.” - Sherry, Sewing Team

“Something I love about World of My Own is that we are a mostly female-run brand. I love seeing women in business and also just women pursuing their passions it is such a special company.” - Rheagan, PR Team

“I love the beauty of the brand and the beauty the brand attracts. World of my own represents creativity to me, and balances femininity with the modern girl.” - Lauren, Social Media Team
