Did you know the Louisiana-based fashion brand with a huge following in Charleston, SC, was founded by a Retired Registered Nurse turned Fashion Designer?

Host Kim Russo sits down with Kim Lolley, owner of the Kim Lolley Fashion Brand, to reveal the inspiring story behind her pivot from a 25-year career in nursing to launching her beloved line of Kim Lolley Designs.

We go behind the seams to discuss:

  • The Crossroads Moment: What led Kim to move past her nursing career and reconnect with her lifelong love of feminine styles and vintage silhouettes.

  • The Design Details: How she chooses the vibrant prints, colors, and luxurious fabrics that define Kim Lolley Designs.

Kim Lolley shares how the Lowcountry has become a core market for her online store (https://KimLolley.com), a popularity that's bringing her to Charleston for highly anticipated pop-up events at the Charleston Hotel and the chic Beau & Ro boutique. Get the scoop on her future expansion plans, including wholesale and a potential brick-and-mortar presence to serve her loyal Charleston following.
