Welcome to another year of All About the Girls! Kicking it all off, Jenny sits down with Tevlyn Schwerd, founder of Coash Clothing Co.! From her journey through the worlds of ballet and fashion to family and the foundation of her business, Jenny and Tevyln leave no stone unturned in this season premiere of AATG.
Tevlyn Schwerd, Creative Director of Coash Clothing Co. and a Valparaiso native, discovered her passion for fashion at a young age. After graduating from Valparaiso High School, she studied Apparel Merchandising at Indiana University, with a focus on Fashion Design and Costume Construction Technology. She then built her career in New York City, gaining experience with designers including James Coviello, Anna Sui, and 3.1 Phillip Lim, working in knitwear design, production, and sourcing, and participating in New York Fashion Week while traveling internationally to explore fabric markets.
After returning home following a kidney donation to her brother, Tevlyn brought her creative expertise back to Northwest Indiana, helping develop the clothing department at the Bargain Barn before co-founding Coash Clothing Co. Today, her women’s apparel brand, rooted in creativity, resilience, and community, is available locally at Little Bear Traders and Woolens in St. John, Indiana, and online at coash-clothing-co-8235.
