Ep 75. Jill Norton, President of Vince

Founded in Los Angeles in 2002 by Rea Laccone and Christopher LaPolice, contemporary clothing brand Vince has proven its resilience in an unpredictable retail landscape for over twenty years by creating modern yet timeless pieces that focus on distinctive style and uncompromising quality. Using only the finest fabrics with obsessive attention to design, the label curates head-to-toe outfitting for men and women with an always on-the-go lifestyle. Feeling a natural fit with Vince's bridge-to-designer market space and its customer-centric philosophy, Nordstrom was an early adopter, beginning our partnership in 2003, just one year after their launch. Vince has remained one of our most important suppliers within the contemporary space and the success of their business has earned them real estate in every single full-line Nordstrom store nationwide. Joining us for this episode is Vince's current president, Jill Norton, who joined the company in 2013 to lead the men’s division. Jill describes the joy of working with the founders in her early days and how important it's been for her to hold fast to the core DNA of the brand as it continues to grow into the future. The now global business is a fascinating success story that attests to the authenticity of Jill's words, "If you make great product, the customer will come." Thanks for tuning in to episode 75.
