In 1993, Kathy Ireland's name on a line of socks sold 100 million pairs and Kmart took notice, subsequently giving Ireland her own clothing line including swimwear, active wear, accessories, sweaters and more.[23][24]

Buoyed by the initial success, Ireland founded kathy ireland Worldwide, at the beginning a brand marketing firm, which she and her related trusts own in its entirety.[25] The company concentrated on building its business in home products after 2003, when it cut its exclusive ties to Kmart.[24]

Already in 2004, Ireland's annual take was thought to be around $10 million. Forbes described Ireland as a "prototype for model-turned-mogul" in a 2006 article about the trend of modelpreneurs.[28] By 2004, kathy ireland Worldwide was marketing products from 16 manufacturers - including those of Nourison[29] and Pacific Coast Lighting[3][23] - selling them in over 34,000 retail locations in as many as 14 countries.[3]

Afterwards Ireland started designing wedding dresses and social occasion gowns. She launched her line of wedding gowns by presenting a runway fashion show at the Festival of Brides held in Disneyland Resort in 2012.[32] Sterling/Winters Company is a wholly owned subsidiary of kathy ireland Worldwide, which is the management company for multi-Grammy Award-winning artist Janet Jackson.[1][33][34]

She teamed up with Worldwise Inc., a pet products company based in San Rafael, California, to create the pet collection.[38][39]

In 2013, kathy ireland Worldwide entered into a licensing agreement with rug manufacturer Nourison, to create a new collection of affordable area rugs.[29] Since that time, Kathy Ireland Home by Nourison has expanded to include more than 20 distinct rug collections.

In 2016, in association with Paul Raps New York,[40] Yaron Turgeman from Taly Diamonds and Roland Krainz from Krainz Creations,[41] Kathy Ireland launched "Diamonds by Kathy Ireland", a collection of sixty-five jewelry pieces: engagement rings, wedding bands, patent-pending earrings, bracelets and pendants.[41] The collection premiered at the 2017 Luxury and JCK shows in Las Vegas.[42][43]

In January 2017, Ireland teamed with Michael Amini to create a new home furnishings line.[44] The line, consisting of bedroom pieces, occasional tables, couches, chairs and dining sets,[45] debuted in October 2017, at the High Point Market trade show.[46]

Level Brands

kiWW-supported Level Brands, a licensing, marketing and branding management company, was founded in 2015,[48] with Kathy Ireland acting as the company's Chairman Emeritus and Chief Brand Strategist ever since its inception.[49]

In August 2017, the company announced that it aims to become the first company with a nationally recognized female Chairman Emeritus to launch a Regulation A+ IPO with an intent to list on a national securities exchange.[50] Ireland described the event as "a very dynamic and powerful moment at Level Brands", and Martin Sumichrast – Level Brands' CEO and President since September 2016, and member of the Board of Barings Capital Funds Trust and Barings Capital Global Short Duration High Yield, a MassMutual affiliate – added that the Regulation A+ IPO should "open up the opportunity to invest in an initial public offering[...] to a wider array of investors, at the start." [51]

On November 16, 2017, Level Brands closed its IPO, after raising its maximum of $12 million by selling 2 million shares at $6 each.[48]

In January 2018, it was announced that, in a license agreement valued at $32 million,[52] Level Brands has partnered with Vancouver-based Isodiol International to create edible, personal care, and medicinal products with cannabidiol.[53][54]

After appearing on the cover of Sports Illustrated magazine in 2012, in a subsequent Today show interview, Kate Upton stated that she would like to follow in the footsteps of other cover girls, specifically Heidi Klum and Ireland.[79] Three years later, in an interview with Matt Lauer, Hannah Jeter, the 2015 Sports Illustrated swimsuit cover model, echoed the same sentiments, revealing that she "would like to model [her] career after someone like Kathy Ireland."[80] Ireland has also been cited as the role model of one of United States' foremost plus-size models, Ashley Graham.[81]

She had gained a pound a year for 25 years and the cumulative effect had become obvious to her in a candid photograph her son had taken.[85]

Friendship with Elizabeth Taylor

Elizabeth Taylor and Ireland had a close friendship and attended public events together. After Ireland received outspoken criticism for her uneven performance as an on-air host of ABC's 2010 pre-Oscar special, Taylor publicly defended Ireland; "I have never seen anyone epitomize glamour and grace and professionalism like she did."[86][87] Ireland publicly credits Taylor as her mentor and for part of her success in life, business, design and philanthropy.[88] Taylor bequeathed her Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award to Ireland,[34] in addition to leaving her a diamond jewelry collection, which Ireland wore at the 2018 American Heart Association's "Go Red for Women" Dress Show.[89]

Activism and ambassador roles

Ireland and National Football League (NFL) wide receiver Tim Brown are ambassadors for 9-1-1 For Kids, a non-profit organization that specializes in making educational materials to assist emergency dispatchers in teaching children the proper use of 9-1-1 and other general emergency preparedness tips.[90] In an effort to encourage equality in women's athletics, Ireland has hosted several LPGA Golf Tournaments, including the Kathy Ireland Championship from 1999 to 2001[91][92] and the Kathy Ireland Greens.com LPGA Classic in 2000.[93] On October 15, 2009, Ireland became an international ambassador for the Friends of Sheba Medical Center.[94] The following year, she traveled to Israel to film a promotional documentary for the Center; titled Holy Land Heroes, the film aims to reveal the work done at Sheba with wounded soldiers and terror victims.[95]
