Hey There!
I'M KENCHEN.
I’m a fashion consultant on a mission to make a lasting impact and inspire women worldwide to break barriers in business. For the past 17 years, I’ve immersed myself in the off-price clothing sector, carving out a path in a predominantly male-dominated industry. Originally from Indonesia, I brought my expertise, ambition, and vision to New York, where I’ve been shaping the off-price fashion world under the roof of Empire Apparel LLC, one smart deal at a time.
In this niche market, I’m not just a participant; I’m a trailblazer. My journey has been about breaking barriers, practicing sustainability, and refining my craft in every aspect of my work. What sets me apart is my unique blend of market insight and innovative thinking.
Beyond my professional success, I’m passionate about finding creative solutions and uncovering opportunities in every corner of this ever-evolving industry. I believe success isn’t about following the status quo—it’s about leading with purpose, innovating, and grabbing the opportunities that are always around us.
By sharing what I’ve learned, I aim to empower others to lead and innovate. My ideas don’t just follow the crowd—they lead it.
Welcome to my universe, where opportunities are everywhere, waiting to be seized!
