Sass comes to Amuse with over 8 years of experience in Marketing and PR for lifestyle brands including Lexus, BCBG Max Azria and Stance socks.
“I could not be more thrilled to be part of the Amuse Society family and to work with such an incredibly solid team of talented, badass women, lead by Mandy Fry and Summer Rapp,†said Sass. “Amuse is about taking risks with fashion, while keeping things tied to beach culture. Together we’re about to shake things up and I feel exceptionally energized about it.â€
