Alison Matthews Radow, Chief Creative Officer
Ali Matthews Radow has always had a passion for the arts, along with an entrepreneurial spirit. She knew that she was destined to have a business in the design industry, involving one of her favorite things– clothing. Ali was born in Toronto, Ontario and raised in Scottsdale, Arizona. She grew up with a love for painting and drawing, as well as an affection for all things sartorial. Little did she know, her childhood days of sketching portraits & clipping graphics from fashion magazines would lead her on a path towards her ultimate career ambitions. She attended Arizona State University, where she studied Communication and became a member of Kappa Alpha Theta. Her involvement with her sorority introduced her to dear friends, and ultimately became a key piece in connecting the dots in her occupational path. Influenced by members of her family and fellow female entrepreneurs, Ali knew that creativity needed to be involved in order to be happy both professionally & personally. At age 24, Ali started her first business venture in the apparel industry. This venture included a nationally sold clothing company geared towards the Greek sorority market. Ali soon realized that the corporate world was also in need of fashion forward clothing with a fresh perspective. She then utilized her knowledge to help BMSS create their first clothing & promotional product division, 224 Apparel. For Ali, the expansion of 224 Apparel over recent years has been nothing short of a dream turned reality. Ali enjoys mentoring fellow young women, fine art, golf, and relaxing with her husband Jonathan & their Yorkie, Karma.
