Women really do run the world — and make it look even better.
Clothing designer Natalie Brown founded her brand NMB New York in October 2020 in the mid of a global pandemic. The brand is based on her thesis collection from Parsons School of Design, where she graduated in 2020 with honors in Fashion Design following an undergraduate degree in Art from Elon University. The Georgia native and Fashion Week darling aims to create clothing that allowed people to embrace their individuality, and feel empowered by what they wear; look good, feel good, and do good, according to the official NMB New York website.
Brown achieved that by up cycling vintage clothes, deconstructing the garments, and using the fabric to create something entirely original. Each NMB piece is one of a kind due to this process, giving luxury clothes a fresh edge.
“Being a female entrepreneur has its challenges and disadvantages, but I am continually inspired by my fellow female entrepreneurs and their growing success!” Brown exclusively told The Knockturnal.
Similarly, Ashley Martin, the visionary behind luxury handbag line Baldwin Era, described just how special Women’s History Month means to her and her fashion brand.
“I am surrounded by entrepreneurial women who have encouraged me and set me on the path I am on today,” Martin said. “This month, I celebrate them and my future self for the history I am creating today. Women have shaped business globally since the beginning of written history and I am proud to be apart of the heritage of those amazing women.”
Martin has made her mark on the ever-changing global fashion industry by issuing in a “new era” of accessible luxury. The stunning 2022 mini handbag collection starts at $129, with the bestselling premiere staple handbag retailing for $159.
