“I’m all about nostalgic collaborations, as seen with many of our recent initiatives,” said Stacy Igel, BOY MEETS GIRL® Founder and Creative Director. “I love the challenge of joining two brands together, and locking-up the Roots and BOY MEETS GIRL® logos was like putting the perfect puzzle together. When I consider a collaboration, I pay a lot of attention to what the other brand stands for and who its audience is. Roots and BOY MEETS GIRL speak to the same customer – authentic, fun, purposeful.  I’ve been a fan of Roots for years, and am proud to give my customers the opportunity to get to know the Roots brand better, and vice versa.”
