About Paige Mycoskie:
FOUNDER & PRESIDENT OF AVIATOR NATION
Paige Mycoskie is an American artist, fashion designer, and businesswoman, best known as the founder and owner of the 70’s-inspired California lifestyle brand, Aviator Nation. Paige was named GQ Magazines Designer of the Year, one of LA Business Journals Top Bosses Under 30 and was featured in Forbes Magazine as one of the United State’s most successful female founders.
Born in Texas, and an avid athlete, she was a state Volleyball champion, and on the Arizona State University Water Ski Team all while attending the Walter Cronkite School for Journalism. Paige began her career at Shape Magazine and shifted focus to freelance photography, video, graphic design, and branding. She developed successful campaigns in branding and commercials, including TOMS Shoes. Paige then decided to create her own clothing line - sewing, dying, and designing each piece herself.
Her beloved brand, Aviator Nation, was established in 2006 with the focus to create quality Made in America clothing. Another goal for Paige was to connect fashion with music while raising funds for charities and generating an awareness of our collective consciousness. Today Aviator Nation is a multi-million dollar business with 16 store locations across the US – including event space Dreamland in Malibu and wellness studio, RIDE, in Santa Monica - and a factory in downtown Los Angeles that employs over 300 people. The garments are still Made in America after 15 years and Paige continues to inspire other companies to push the limits on manufacturing local. With a passion for philanthropy, she has worked with a variety of nonprofits including Charity Water; Surf Aid; Heal the Bay; The Flatwater Foundation; and Global Citizen with proceeds aiding in their ongoing campaign to end poverty. The brand also has partnerships with SXSW, Austin City Limits Music Festival; Lollapalooza Music Festival; and with John Mayer’s previous concert tours.
