S16 E05: Nili Lotan, Founder, CEO and Creative Director at Nili Lotan

Scott Kerr is joined by highly acclaimed ready-to-wear designer Nili Lotan, founder and CEO of her 25-year-old namesake fashion label, to discuss her path to building a successful culturally-vibrant brand that has redefined what luxury means for a modern woman. Nili also talks about branching out on her own after years of leading design teams at top American fashion houses, shaping a distinct design language rooted in music and art, and following her instincts and often rejecting fashion industry norms. She discusses collaborating with rock duo The Kills, expanding her brand into menswear, and launching a handbag collection after 22 years. Plus: Why her experience as head designer at Ralph Lauren was her most formative.
