When I started at Banana Republic in early 2018, there were 4 basic fits and denim was a small layer-on to the woven pants business. Fast forward to today, denim is a brand focus with a robust collection of best-in-class premium denim classics as well as trend-forward fashion denim styles across all categories. Bringing denim to fruition in an elevated way has been an honor and a passion for me. The challenge to create a high-end expression of denim for a brand known for modern workwear has allowed me to expand my design experience and bring my years of denim expertise to the table.
