Making Upliftment Their Business Clothes are only one aspect of what Madison Savile does to uplift women. Nguyen counts Sara Blakely, founder of Spanx, as an inspiration because of her philanthropic Red Backpack Fund and her giving back to her employees. “She is my inspiration, and Oprah too. I want to be the Oprah of fashion.” Madison Savile hosts a podcast called Inspired and donates a portion of its proceeds to Elizabeth House, which helps women and children experiencing homelessness due to domestic violence and sex trafficking. They ethically source their fabric from tailors paid a living wage who work right at their atelier in Los Angeles, saving on carbon emissions and preventing waste. Madison Savile exists to empower women and inspire a more beautiful world inside and out, in part so women can better shape the business world and society in general to fit our needs. “This is so we as women can have a seat at the table to make decisions for change; change that is needed for women in this new era. We shouldn’t have to sacrifice our careers or our families anymore.”
