Adrienne Antonson is a former inhabitant of an alpaca farm on an island off the coast of Seattle. More importantly, she’s the founder of STATE The Label, but the alpaca farm thing really had to be said.
She’s also a mother and an artist and all around creative person.
We like Adrienne.
We asked her to answer 19 of our burning questions, and she kindly agreed to take the time out of her busy day making the prettiest fucking skirt we’ve ever seen, to do it. Here we go.

I’m never bored.
