DANA OTT, DIRECTOR OF SALES & MERCHANDISING BOOTH 7241 How did you kick off your fashion career? I grew up with the chicest grandmother ever! I used to spend hours getting lost in her closet. I attended FIT and found my calling in sales and merchandising. I landed my first job at Gucci in 2000, and never looked back. Here I am, 18 years later, working for a brand I truly adore.

LAUREN GROSSMAN, OWNER & DESIGNER BOOTH 6770 What’s new this season? We’re introducing a new “Foil” fabric for Spring ’19. It’s a metallic silver that is trending in the futuristic look this season. It is eye-catching and fun to do a few whimsical pieces.
Who’s your designer muse? Donna Karan. I love the way that she drapes her jersey pieces.
NICOLE MILLER
NICOLE MILLER, DESIGNER & FOUNDER BOOTHs 314 & 7665 What’s the mood of your Spring ’19 collection? Nostalgic and timeless. There’s a bit of an ’80s influence, but I didn’t want to get too caught up in one period or one time zone. The collection has a lot of contemporary dresses.

I’m sure I’m not the only person doing this, but I do love a long, oversize blazer. It began last fall, and there was a lot on my runway, but for Spring I made it bigger and longer, and tweaked some of the details. The jacket is like the length of a short dress now. The blazer is definitely back! It’s just got to be a little more interesting.
VELVET HEART
JORDAN TSABAG, EVP BOOTH 8111 What’s your label’s aesthetic? We’re a California lifestyle brand: casual, on-trend, fun.
Who are your muses? Alexa Chung. She’s got the ultimate cool-girl style, remains an industry favorite, and is a talented designer. Also, Jane Birkin—she’s iconic and effortlessly stylish.
