Ramy Brook: Day-To-Night Fashion From a Self-Trained Designer

Though Ramy Brook Sharp's high school wasn't too happy about her shortening her skirts and restyling her jeans, this was the beginning of Ramy's self-trained foray into fashion designing. Fast-forward to 2010 and she's creating prototypes of six tops and one dress and debuting them at a trunk show at her sister’s home in New Jersey. This eventually leads to Bergdorf Goodmans placing their first order. Since then, Ramy Brooks has become a national fashion label known for its signature use of silk fabrics, lively colors, and sophisticated silhouettes, and day-to-night solutions in women’s wardrobes. Ramy visits Raising The Bar to dish up all her secrets on fashion designing, from how she nabbed high-end retailers like Saks and Bloomies to running a flagship store on Madison Ave. and focusing on e-tailers like Shopbop and Revolve.
