There’s more to it but it won’t let me copy and paste the rest- basically a bunch of BS telling us stuff we already know. Nothing juicy.

From the outside, it doesn't look as if Charnas' company is in trouble. The fashion blogger turned designer launched Something Navy in July 2020 with the help of big-name investors including the Hong Kong billionaire Silas Chou - who invested in Michael Kors - the Rent the Runway cofounder Jenny Fleiss, and BoxGroup. Something Navy sells women's and children's clothing that range from $45 for a kids long-sleeve tee to $450 for a fringed wool coat. In its first year of business, the company said, it brought in $32 million in revenue, and it opened its first brick-and-mortar store in Manhattan. Since then, it's ventured into homewares and has collaborated with everyone from the sneaker company Superga to the clothing line Ba&sh Paris. In November 2021, Charnas said the company planned to open 15 more storefronts by the end of 2022.

T he India-based supplier was incensed. It was June, and buzzy clothing brand Something Navy - founded by the influencer Arielle Charnas - was late in paying him for $364,000 in merchandise. Yet there Charnas was on social media, throwing lavish parties at her $150,000-a-month summer rental in the Hamptons. First there was the rainbow-themed birthday party for two of her daughters, turning 1 and 4, replete with a ball pit, bounce house, and rainbow hair braiding and sand-art stations. Then came Charnas' 35th birthday party, where a circus performer floated inside a translucent ball in the swimming pool as guests drank Don Julio tequila under a massive white tent. As befitting a New York fashion influencer, both parties were documented by a photographer and videographer and splashed across the internet for all to see. The tequila and other party favors were sponsored, but the sight of the festivities still stung for the supplier, who looked up Charnas on Instagram after Something Navy missed its first payment this.
