About this episode

Nili Lotan discusses her journey in building a fashion brand from scratch while balancing motherhood and creative freedom.

Lauren is joined by Nili Lotan, founder of the namesake fashion brand, for a candid look at what it takes to build a fashion brand from scratch—in her 40s, as a mother, and on her own terms. Lotan discusses the brand's evolution, how she navigates wholesale and direct-to-consumer, and her growing international presence. She also reflects on formative years at Liz Claiborne and Ralph Lauren, and how the desire for creative freedom became the driving force behind everything she’s built since.
