Sophia Amoruso And Her Netflix Show Struggle With Likability
The QuintPart of Sophia Amoruso’s appeal lies in her utter disregard for rules. From her meteoric rise to one of the most discussed names in fashion with her edgy label, Nasty Gal, clocking over $100 million in sales to declaring bankruptcy in 2016, I’ve followed it all. But she knew how to buy vintage clothing for throwaway prices at thrift stores, style them, click herself in those outfits, and sell them online – a skill that helped her build a friggin’ company. By the end of 2015, Forbes estimated that Nasty Gal had surpassed $300 million in revenues, and in mid 2016, it reported that Amoruso had become one of the richest self-made millionaires, clocking a $280 million fortune. So when Netflix brought Amoruso’s story to the small screen, with Britt Robertson playing the entrepreneur on the show – which shares its name with #GirlBoss, Amoruso’s bestselling guide for women – I decided to give it a watch.
