“I guess a lot of brands don’t really get that insider information from the teens themselves, and they’re not listening to what people may want,” says Charli on launching their family’s footwear brand. The influencer said she’s learned a lot from asking her friends in college what they want in a shoe.

“Having to be out of my comfort zone all the time can be a little bit difficult,” says Charli D’Amelio. With more than 150 million TikTok followers, the youngest D’Amelio is the second-most-followed person on the platform. Since going viral with dance and lip-sync videos in 2019, she’s partnered with brands like Dunkin’ and Prada, launched her own fragrance, Born Dreamer, and won the latest season of “Dancing With the Stars.”
