INGE ONSEA

Inge Onsea is a total embodiment of joie de vivre which makes her the perfect guest during The Most wonderful time of the year. As the co-founder and creative director of global brand ESSENTIEL ANTWERP Inge has lived quite the rollercoaster of a life. A self-described "woman without a plan" Inge's career flowed from gigs as a background singer to magician's assistant to 'mannequin de cabine' for big names like MUGLER and Max Mara before founding her own label in 1999 with her business partner and father of her children Esfan Eghtessadi. As she and Dominique sit down for a long conversation, Inge describes the road from starting out designing a few T-shirts to growing a global brand with 165 employees, 30+ flagship stores (from London to Paris to Seoul to New York) and 780 salespoints worldwide including Neiman Marcus and Anthropologie – while still remaining independent. Inge also has no qualms talking about the beautiful chaos that is her private life and how her travels and home contribute to living an unapologetic life. This episode of The Most is brought to you by MAISON NOILLY PRAT, the original vermouth crafted by the sea in the South of France. Enjoy responsibly. Happy Holidays!
