Welcome to part two of my conversation with Ilana Kohn, if you missed part one, please be sure to start there.

 

Originally a successful illustrator who began her career creating original works for The New Yorker and The New York Times among others, Ilana brought her love of color and graphics to her collection of effortlessly silhouetted and comfort-driven daily wear essentials. Kohn’s label is one quickly recognized by those in the know, with a cool and easy approach to fit and cut informed by the designer and her team’s perspective rather than the gaze of “capital F” Fashion industry. In the second chapter of our conversation, Ilana gives a rare glimpse behind the curtain at what the reality of operating an independent apparel collection looked like in the post-COVID era.
