After swimming, I had done a variety of different roles, so when I started the brand I didn\u2019t want to be pigeon-holed into a specific role as I had been more visible from the get-go,\u201d Tan told THR <\/em>earlier this year. \u201cIn the early stages of the company, it was quite important that I focus on the product and running and building the team, and building the processes within that. If I had been out in the front, then I\u2019m going to think about, What are people going to say?<\/em> It would have been a lot more to cover during the early stages when I really wanted the product to stand for itself; [I wanted] to make sure the product was something that the customer really wanted before we moved onto the \u2018Nick\u2019 phase.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tSwift was the first celebrity to be spotted with Aupen.
