158. Vienne Brown - Recent History of Clothing, Hong Kong and China and The Homogeneous Future of Transportation Aesthetics

Vienne Cheung Brown is the founder of VienneMilano, a luxury hosiery brand dedicated to thigh high stockings that are made in Italy. Founded in 2011, Vienne transitioned her previous work in high tech product management to designing, distributing, and managing a fashion e-commerce brand. Since childhood, Vienne traveled throughout Europe and Asia, always bringing home fashion accessories not directly available in the USA, such as fine Italian hosiery. Frustrated by the lack of selection of high-quality thigh highs in the U.S., Vienne realized that this would be an opportunity to serve and to empower women with luxury hosiery. Combining an education in fine arts, business, and a passion for bringing products to life, from concept to market, Vienne gathered the skills to launch the very first luxury hosiery brand dedicated to thigh high stockings sold exclusively online. Today, VienneMilano has helped redefine thigh highs as a fashion category. The collection offers one of the world's most extensive variety for thigh high stockings consisting of classic styles, fashion-forward pieces, skin tone matching sheers, eco-friendly stockings, plus sizes, and much more. The brand has expanded from being sold exclusively from VienneMilano.com to distributing to many online distribution channels and brick and mortar outlets. VienneMilano has also been featured on FOX, New York Fashion Week, and Spark and Hustle by Tory of Good Morning America and has been a popular accessory for celebrities and magazines in photo shoots across the world. https://www.viennemilano.com/ Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/dr-ds-social-network/donations Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
