Fashioning a Successful Small Business

New York City designer Raul Peñaranda became one of the fastest growing fashion entrepreneurs to come out of the small business industry with his 100% USA manufactured ready to wear fashion line for women.

What's next for Raul? Expanding his brand into the global market while setting a standard for small business success stories.

Raul Peñaranda means business. While you may have not heard his name, you’ve definitely seen his work on Donald Trump’s hit NBC series, Celebrity Apprentice. Former Miss Universe, Dayana Mendoza wore Penarañda’s clothing the entire 2012 season.

“Dayana has been such an amazing part of growing my brand and it was really exciting to see my dresses on the show every week. It really allowed me to see that my garments brought edge and sophistication to the boardroom, I knew I did my job and hit the mark” says Penarañda.
