Beginning in 1998, Ms. Norton grew Moo Roo from her kitchen table into an international brand with an A-list celebrity following including JuliaLouis-Dreyfus, Jennifer Lopez, Uma Thurman, Cameron Diaz, Halle Berryand Oprah Winfrey.
In 2004, Fashion Group International, Inc. and The Accessories Council named Mary Norton a rising star. And, in 2005, Inc. Magazine named Moo Roo among the fastest growing urban businesses in the United States.
She designed an entire collection of Mary Norton Shoes and opened a boutique on King Street. In 2007, Mary was honored with the prestigious Footwear News Launch of the Year Award for a ground-breaking year of growth and stellar design.
Ms. Norton has had successes (Mary’s now a star on the Home ShoppingNetwork) and she’s had failures (a corporate bankruptcy in 2009). This effervescent entrepreneur will enthrall you with her never-quitattitude and business acumen, said Susan Lucas of the King StreetMarketing Group.
