From Trunk Shows to Bergdorf’s: How Ramy Brook Built a Fashion Empire Nov 14, 2025

Show notes

On today’s episode, I’m sitting down with fashion entrepreneur and Ramy Brook founder, Ramy Brook Sharp, to unpack her remarkable journey from launching a brand in her 40s to building a modern fashion empire. Ramy shares how she broke into the industry without a design degree, the early days of trunk shows, and the moment Bergdorf Goodman picked up her line within six months of launching. We dive into the realities of scaling a fashion business–from hiring and e-commerce growth to expanding into dresses, silk, jewelry, and shoes–as well as how she navigated the challenges of COVID when her going-out focused brand was forced to pivot overnight. Ramy also opens up about leadership, building a strong team, understanding your weaknesses, and why fashion should always make you feel confident rather than constrained. Insightful, candid, and packed with lessons for aspiring founders, this conversation is a must-listen for anyone looking to build a brand, reinvent themselves, or succeed in the ever-changing world of fashion.
