Social media influencer and fashion entrepreneur Danielle Bernstein has publicly announced the cancellation of her engagement in a heartfelt statement shared with her extensive online following. The founder of the prominent brand WeWoreWhat took to Instagram on Friday to reveal the personal news to her 3.2 million followers, confirming her separation from real estate broker Cooper Weisman.
Emotional Announcement on Social Media
In her candid Instagram post, Bernstein addressed her recent silence regarding her personal life before confirming the relationship's conclusion. 'I've been quiet about my personal life recently and wasn't ready to speak on it until now,' she wrote. 'We are stepping away from our relationship with love and respect. There's no big dramatic reason - sometimes it is simply not the right forever.'
The influencer expressed uncertainty about her future while emphasising the courage required to make such a significant decision. 'I'm not sure what the future holds, but this choice took courage,' Bernstein continued, before requesting privacy for both individuals involved. 'I would really appreciate privacy and grace for both of us during this time.' She concluded her message with a simple expression of gratitude: 'Thank you for the support.'
From Fashion Blog to Commercial Empire
Bernstein, originally from Great Neck on Long Island, established her fashion blog WeWoreWhat in 2010 while studying at Manhattan's Fashion Institute of Technology. Demonstrating remarkable entrepreneurial instinct, she abandoned her formal education just one year later as her digital platform rapidly evolved into a profitable business venture.
Reflecting on her early success in a 2017 Forbes interview, Bernstein explained her realisation that the platform could generate substantial income. 'Slowly but surely brands started reaching out to send me products to post and promote, which is when I realized this was something I could monetize,' she revealed. That same year, her achievements earned her a prestigious position on Forbes' 30 Under 30 list at just twenty-four years old.
Building a Fashion Powerhouse
As Bernstein's Instagram following expanded exponentially, so too did her commercial ambitions and brand portfolio. Her entrepreneurial journey includes several significant milestones:
- Launch of her own swimwear collection in 2019
- Introduction of a dedicated denim line shortly afterwards
- Development of an activewear range
- Exclusive collaboration with major department store Macy's
By 2020, WeWoreWhat had transformed into a comprehensive online retail destination offering wardrobe essentials, with current price points ranging from twenty-nine to four hundred and ninety-five dollars. Within a single decade, Bernstein successfully converted her personal style blog into a formidable fashion empire, demonstrating exceptional business acumen alongside her influential social media presence.
The announcement of her engagement's conclusion marks a significant personal development for the influential entrepreneur, whose professional accomplishments continue to resonate throughout the fashion industry. Bernstein's request for privacy suggests she intends to navigate this personal transition while maintaining her substantial business operations and influential digital presence.
