Following the success of A Walk to Remember, Mandy Moore continued to push herself. She wanted to be seen as a serious actress, and she believes one of her roles in particular helped her reach this point. "I think Saved! was the beginning for me," she said in an interview with Elle. It was the start of people saying, 'Hey, maybe she's a serious actress. Maybe she's in this for the long haul.' And once you have that feeling, doing work you're really proud of, you want more of it."
And that's just what Moore did: she went for more, and not just in the movie business. In 2005, she started her own fashion line, Mblem. Although the line only lasted three years, Moore was happy with the run and hoped to have more experience in the future in the fashion business. As she told WWD, "I love the fashion world. I'm fascinated by it. I'm humbled by it... If I were to dip my toe back in there, it would have to be the right situation... a great partnership that could represent a true reflection of me and my ideas, and you know, that wasn't happening. So next go round, that needs to be top of the list."
