In 23 years, the Tibi founder had never laid off a single employee. COVID-19 changed that, and Smilovic is determined to bring those “family members” back.

Designers who saw their stores shuttered last week talked with WWD about their fears, hopes and emotions of this strange and dangerous time.

Season after season, the designer offers silhouettes with just enough special details that women not only want to, but do, wear.

Genderless fashion designers and global retailers discuss the segment predicted to be the future of the industry.

“I think that our clothing allows a woman or man to express they are a creative individual without looking crazy. We’re really focusing on that woman who used her clothing to express who she is, but not dominate,” expressed Tibi designer Amy Smilovic. 

Amy Smilovic expressed her love for tailoring, fresh colors and chic city living in her spring show.

Fo resort, Amy Smilovic aimed to design, “visually disruptive despite its apparent simplicity,” pieces through her minimalistic, detail oriented collection.

Obi brings to Tibi more than 15 years of branding and marketing experience across several consumer sectors encompassing retail, art, music and consumer products.

Amy Smilovic combined heritage and experimentation in a wardrobe for chic working girls.

WWD asked designers what inspired them for fall. “Euphoria” and “heritage” were just a couple of the sentiments.

Tibi has officially launched men’s, while its women’s collection got a sense of humor.

On fashion’s gerbil wheel, Tibi’s founder and creative director sees scant support for America’s designing women.

Amy Smilovic delivered an urbane collection designed to transcend trends and time.

Solène Pouyat will join Tibi as director of sales.

The lineup was awash in quirky, saturated Sixties colors used to pop against offbeat neutrals like slate brown.
