She was so successful, in fact, that her employer, Danka, named her national sales trainer at the age of 25. Launching in 2000 with Blakely's own designs for footless pantyhose, the company expanded in 2014 to include a line of slimming denim to products that includes everything from bras to yoga apparel.
