Amy Levin is the founder and creative director of CollegeFashionista.com, a style Web site devoted to college students on campuses around the world. At intervals, Levin will interview fashion professionals about how they made it in their field.
From her start at Vogue, in 2002, to her current role as a highly sought after freelance stylist for fashion labels such as Textile by Elizabeth and James, Christian Siriano, The Row, and Misha Nonoo, Danielle Nachmani’s signature aesthetic and steadfast work ethic have earned her a top-notch reputation in the fashion industry. It wasn’t too long ago that she roamed the streets of Syracuse University’s campus, sticking out from the orange, blue, and white crowds by staying true to her minimalist uniform.
VF Daily spoke to her about her journey from there to here.
Amy Levin: How did you get your start in the fashion industry?
Danielle Nachmani: I always had a strong interest in the creative process of editorial stories and runway shows. My first opportunity came in the form of an internship and chance meeting with stylist and now designer Andrea Lieberman. Every day, I was handed a composition notebook filled with to dos, and I learned all about the importance of details in developing a creative image moment. That internship led to a summer internship at Vogue, which was invaluable because of everything I learned. My last two weeks were spent assisting on the CFDA Vogue Fashion Fund presentation, and I was hooked from there.
Was there someone in particular who inspired you to pursue a career in the industry?
My father. He came from Israel at 22 and started a company in the industry from the ground up. He is the most impeccably dressed man I know, from when he came to America without a dollar in his pocket until now—he’s a successful businessman. He instilled in me that if you want to do something and you’re willing to do the work (and show up!), it’s more than possible.
What has been your most memorable experience as a stylist?
Every time the finale walks in a runway show I have styled, and I hug the designer I am working with. My love has been built into the work I do helping designers. No one can really understand the weeks leading up to [a show] and the amount of blood, sweat, and tears that go into presenting a collection. I feel incredibly lucky to be on that journey with them.
What does a typical day look like for Danielle Nachmani?
The word “typical” doesn’t really apply in my realm of work. Every day is different, but I do try to create somewhat of a morning ritual for myself, to keep some routine in my life.
