Trina Turk

Trina Turk considers herself lucky on two counts. First because she knew at a fairly young age what she wanted to do when she grew up–to design clothing professionally– and second, because she is succeeding at doing it beyond her wildest dreams. An old adage suggests, Luck favors the prepared mind. While its true that Turk was well prepared to take advantage of the opportunities that came her way, as a matter of fact, luck had very little to do with the phenomenal growth of her business. With her husband, then a stylist, now photographer Jonathan Skow and production manager Lyne Lee as partners, Trina Turk launched her own business in 1995.
