LAUREN NOUCHI WEARS AN APPARIS FAUX FUR SCARF.
LAUREN NOUCHI, 2 8
COFOUNDER, APPARIS
Good news came to designer Lauren Nouchi in early
2018—retailer Bloomingdale’s wanted a look at her
fall line. The bad news? She hadn’t designed one. Nou-
chi, who founded vegan clothing brand Apparis (no ani-
mal-derived skins, dyes or glues) with cofounder Amélie
Brick, hunkered down in her Paris apartment and de-
signed 12 faux fur coats in bold shades of fuchsia and lav-
ender. Bloomies bought 5,000 of the jackets, which retail
for $215 to $495. With 600 other shops, including Saks
and Intermix, on board she expects 2019’s sales to top $7
million. “The food industry saw a big movement, then it
moved to beauty,” says Nouchi. “Vegan fashion will be the
next thing.” —Susan Adams, Samantha Sharf, Michael
