54. How to Start by Creating What You Need: Ramy Brook Sharp

As a mom of three living in New York City, Ramy Brook Sharp started her eponymous line after searching for the perfect sexy date night top to pair with her jeans. Through Ramy’s signature use of silk fabrics, lively colors, and sophisticated silhouettes, the collection is meant to be a day-to-night solution in a woman’s wardrobe. Ramy Brook is now sold in more than 250 boutiques nationwide, including the Ramy Brook flagship store on Madison Avenue, Southampton, and ramybrook.com. The brand can also be found in retailers worldwide, including Saks Fifth Avenue, Nordstrom, Bergdorf Goodman, Bloomingdale’s, and Neiman Marcus.  In this episode, Nada sits down with Ramy to discuss how she went from tailoring all her clothes to fit her aesthetic to a successful lifestyle clothing brand. Ramy opens up about the highs and lows of the last ten years of running Ramy Brook, from traveling trunk shows to persistently pursuing connections in the industry. Ramy also walks us through the slow but important process of developing your team and creating an environment where people want to work. Be sure to check out Ramy Brook's website.
