#GrabYourWallet: Ivanka Trump shuts down fashion company
Did a hashtag make it all happen?
In 2014, Ivanka Trump started a namesake fashion label with an accompanying working woman-themed website and campaign. These days, the Presidential daughter spends her time in Washington as a senior adviser to her father. But, what of the fashion company? After four years in retail and 17 months in her new political role, Ivanka has decided to finally shut down the company.
What happened to Ivanka Trump, the label?
According to reports, (the real) Ivanka had decided to close the company as she has grown “frustrated” over the conflicts of interest that have arisen from her Washington position and the brand. More than once, issues have popped up regarding her using her public position to further the private brand. Even following her stepping down from the company and transferring assets to a trust she was still reported to have earned US$ 5 million from the company.
Ivanka had this to say in a statement:
“After 17 months in Washington, I do not know when or if I will ever return to the business. I do know that my focus for the foreseeable future will be the work I am doing here in Washington, so making this decision now is the only fair outcome for my team and partners.”
#GrabYourWallet: Did a hashtag make it all happen?
The company shut down happened 651 days after a Twitter movement to boycott Ivanka’s products was launched. As a response to President Trump’s Access Hollywood scandal which heard him saying he could “grab women by the pussy,” #GrabYourWallet was born. The boycott of retailers that carried the Ivanka Trump label went viral quickly and according to movement founder Shannon Coulter in an interview with Elle.com, she sees a spike in hashtag use every time Trump says something unsavory (i.e. racist or xenophobic).
The closure comes after stores like Nordstrom, Belk, and Neiman Marcus had dropped the label citing poor sales. This, in part, could be attributed to the public boycott.
Whatever the case may be, #GrabYourWallet proponents are taking it as a victory. What’s next for the movement? This tweet from Coulter could be indicative:
Yes! That’s where I think we should turn our attention next. Which tech company will be the first to drop @NRATV from their platform? @AppleTV, @Google / @YouTube, or @RokuPlayer? Let’s do this! #GrabYourWallet 👛 🚫 💥 https://t.co/l7Dtw8jf0j

That just means we may be seeing the hashtag in the tech space soon.

ITZY’s YUNA is Infinix’s first ever global brand ambassador
Infinix is in with YUNA in the scene
Infinix is entering a new era — and the brand is bringing one of K-Pop’s most sought-after stars along the ride.
A first for Infinix
In line with the launch of the latest NOTE 60 series, Infinix has also named YUNA of ITZY as its very first Global Brand Ambassador. The company calls this a bold step forward for both innovation and style.
For the record, this is the first time Infinix has tapped a global ambassador — and the choice makes sense. YUNA is known for her confidence, vibrant energy, and unapologetic self-expression. These qualities align closely with Infinix’s “Joy Tech, Beyond Limits” philosophy.
In a statement, YUNA shared her excitement about the partnership. She said she’s looking forward to connecting with fans in a new way and creating meaningful stories together with the brand.
For Infinix, this collaboration is more than just a celebrity endorsement. It signals a shift in how the company wants to position itself globally — not just as a smartphone maker, but as a lifestyle tech brand for expressive, tech-savvy youth.
The more, the merrier
The partnership goes along the debut of the NOTE 60 Series, further fueling Infinix’s move toward a more premium smartphone experience.
Like YUNA, the NOTE 60 line also brings notable names in the table:
- Powered by Snapdragon from Qualcomm
- Design collaboration with Pininfarina
- Audio tuned with JBL
It’s a clear attempt that Infinix wanted to elevate both performance and design by blending in flagship-level specs, more refined aesthetics, and immersive sound altogether.
Infinix says this launch also marks its expansion into more premium international markets.
With YUNA as the face of the brand, the company hopes to strengthen its appeal among younger users who want both powerful hardware and a device that matches their personality.
Rather than focusing purely on specs, Infinix is leaning into storytelling — highlighting how technology can spark creativity, joy, and individuality.
With the NOTE 60 Series and YUNA front and center, Infinix appears ready to redefine its brand identity on a global scale.
