Before creating her famous, Hillary Kerr–approved penny loafers, Jamie Haller worked behind the scenes in the fashion industry. She got her start in corporate retail in the 2000s, designing pieces that were mass-produced for big brands of the era like Wet Seal, Guess, and Bebe. She’d go on to work for smaller brands where she honed her skills as a designer with more creative control. When Haller tried her hand at something new during the pandemic—aka the home renovation space—her eye for fashion translated seamlessly into the world of interior design. She later set her sights on starting her namesake brand with a new category of fashion she had yet to touch: shoes. On the heels of her successful shoe line, her career came full circle when she expanded her brand, Jamie Haller, into apparel. Today, her many talents have come together with the opening of her first-ever storefront in Montecito, California, where you can shop her staples in a beautiful space she designed herself.

When set out to create a game-changing golfwear and lifestyle brand, she had already co-founded a company called The Now, a popular massage business offering luxury treatments at an affordable price point. She had an understanding of both the operational and creative sides of starting a niche business. That understanding proved crucial when she and her husband, Stephen, set out to create —a golfwear brand that appeals to a younger generation and breaks stuffy tradition through bold apparel, daring designs, and a community-based approach to growth. What started as an Instagram moodboard for the sport became a brand well-loved by longtime golf fans and the golf-curious around the world for its commitment to inviting everyone to enjoy what the Malbons call “the greatest game on Earth.”

Melanie Bender’s career path started underwater. Literally.

As a global environmental science major, Melanie spent her college days scuba diving in her home state of Hawai’i before becoming an environmental planner. Her early career was spent assessing the environmental impacts of big public works projects like rail systems, but when she reflected on what she really wanted to do, the fashion and beauty industry called to her. Although she had no experience or contacts when she moved to NYC, her background in STEM instilled what she calls “an engineer mindset” that helped her conquer whatever job she set her sights on from that point on—from PR to product development to marketing. She soon developed a reputation as a jack-of-all-trades in brand building, helping grow big beauty names like Versed and serving as CEO of Hailey Bieber’s Rhode. Now, after years of working behind the scenes in the industry, Bender’s stepping into the spotlight with her own company, Lore—her fragrance line that debuted at Sephora earlier this year.

Celia Muñoz on how her growing family helped her build .

17/11/2025

Celia Muñoz is the founder of , a childrenswear brand that infuses traditional Spanish craftsmanship and culture into beautiful designs for kids.

Although she always loved fashion, Muñoz focused her studies on psychology. She spent her early career working in luxury retail and executive headhunting. The idea for La Coqueta came to her while she was growing her family in London and dressing her children in traditional clothing from her native Spain. Upon realizing the gap in the London market, she began La Coqueta (meaning “well-groomed”)as a side project. Although her only fashion experience was in retail, she quickly realized her design talent and officially launched the brand in 2013. Families fell in love with La Coqueta’s commitment to stylish, high-quality garments for their little ones. Today, the brand—which Celia affectionately calls her sixth child—has grown a global community beyond its London roots with two new stores in the U.S. as of this year.
