Episode 15. From Refugee to Haute Couture: Natalia Fedner on Dressing Beyoncé and Building a Fashion Brand
In this episode of Inside the Design Studio, I'm catching up with my longtime friend and celebrated designer, Natalia Fedner. Natalia and I first met over 20 years ago at Parsons Paris, and today, her designs are seen on icons like Beyoncé and Jennifer Lopez among many others. We talk about her unique path from acting to fashion, how she used her acting career to fund her first collection, and the fine balance between the art and business of fashion.
Natalia also opens up about the realities of building a fashion empire, creating couture that pushes boundaries, and the creative process behind dressing some of the world's most influential women. Whether you're a designer, an entrepreneur, or just love a behind-the-scenes look at the fashion industry, this conversation is packed with inspiration and real talk.
