(#kcupdate) Nanette Lepore

'Known for her bold colors, evocative prints and signature silhouettes, Nanette Lepore has become one of the leading names in contemporary American fashion. Inspired by her artsy bohemian childhood and passion for a good party, Nanette’s designs are adored by style makers and celebrities alike, including Michelle Obama, Nicki Minaj, Scarlett Johansson, Taylor Swift, Abigail Breslin, Blake Lively, Arianna Huffington, Carly Rae Jepsen and Kristin Chenoweth.' - nanettelepore.com

I love hearing about people that come from nothing and use a small amount of money to start up what they love. Reading up about this company I saw that Nanette went to New York City with her talent, tenacity and a $5,000 loan from her father to launch her own label.
