We are so excited to kick this season off with a conversation with artist Carla Weeks. I got to visit Carla in her studio and learn about how she found her way into her craft. Carla’s artwork ranges from painting to murals to textiles. She has a deep understanding of color and shape and layers her motifs to make a cohesive collection
Nicole has been running her brand for over 10 years and is very committed to slow fashion. Over the last year, it has been exciting to watch Nicole’s brother, Jordan Haddad join the business and watch how this brother and sister team continues to grow and evolve their business I got to chatting with Nicole and I am so excited to share this exchange.
Before launching her own line, Alana worked for some big brands where she learned how to design, how to work with vendors and how to create something her customers would love. She launched Llani with a Kickstarter and then grew the brand from there. It was great to hear how she figured it out and how much she values the relationship she has created with the craftsmen and women who create her shoes.
