Are you tired of seeing what all of your friends are reading on Yahoo News, the Washington Post, Wall Street Journal Social Edition, or the U.K. Guardian? Do you not care to see what people are listening to on Spotify, Mog, or Rdio?

We asked the owner of College Hautees, Tamina Madsen, about how she has become so successful at selling tee-shirts on a Facebook page equipped with Payvment software.

Tell us a little bit about your background, and how you got started in the fashion business.

I am actually a lawyer who wanted a career change after several stressful years of practicing litigation. I attended University of California, Berkeley as an undergraduate, and UCLA for law school.

I never used to wear anything bearing my schools’ logos because none of the options available to women were flattering or fashionable. I decided to stay true to my love of fashion and launch an online store that would be the destination for female students and alumnae who want to simultaneously show off their school pride and their unique sense of style.

So what would a shopper expect to find at College Hautees?

The wordplay in College Hautees evokes haute or fashionable tees and other basic apparel for the modern young woman. We sell off-the-shoulder tees, sweater dresses, tube tops, crop tops, and deep v-necks all bearing officially licensed university logos.

All of our logo products are feminine and fashionable. However, we understand that not everyone wants to wear their school’s name plastered over their chests every day.

So we also have our Haute Basic line, which features high quality, ultra-soft, on-trend basics in both general and school colors, including shoulder-baring sweatshirts and dresses, French terry hoodies, and slub tank tops.
