Leah McSweeney (born in 1982 in New York City) is the founder and CEO of the female "Married to the MOB" (MTTM) clothing line. McSweeney has been featured in many publications, such as (TLG Magazine, ) Elle Girl, Inked, Complex, Elle, Vogue, Hypebeast, Essence, Paper, URB, Teen Vogue and Nylon. == Early life == Her early years were spent in New York City until she was thrown out in eighth grade from an all-girls Catholic school, Convent of the Sacred Heart, whose alumni includes Paris and Nicky Hilton, and Lady Gaga. Afterwards, Leah’s family moved to Newtown, Connecticut where she ran away every weekend to get back to her NYC roots. Once Leah finished high school, she moved back to the Big Apple and studied at the Fashion Institute of Technology for a short time before dropping out.〔 In 2004, tired of seeing guys having the coolest gear and brands, Leah had the idea of creating her own female clothing line "Married to the MOB" with extreme help of from her daughter's father, Rob Cristofaro of Alife fame.〔 Leah used her settlement of $75,000 (from a lawsuit stemming from a fight McSweeney sparked with the police) to jump-start her idea. She bought an Apple computer and painted her grandmother's Spring Street apartment walls pink. Leah’s grandmother's apartment became the MTTM headquarters; everyone from McSweeney's young sister and MOB poster-girl Sarah McSweeney to her teenage friend Tabatha became part of team.〔 The clothing line grew from there, and Leah switched her headquarters to the Empire State Building after receiving seed funding from FUBU. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Leah McSweeney」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
