Verniese Brown To Make NY Fashion Week Debut 6 Months After Starting Luxury Handbag Brand
Verniese Brown is commited to building not just a label but a legacy.
In a rarely seen feat in the world of luxury fashion, Black entrepreneur and designer Verniese Brown will make her New York Fashion Week debut this September, six months after founding her luxury handbag brand, VIE LORIE.
The milestone not only marks the arrival of a new name in high fashion but highlights the extraordinary determination, talent, and vision of a Black woman breaking into one of the industry’s most exclusive spaces.
Founded in February 2025, VIE LORIE has achieved in half a year what many fashion houses spend years striving toward. Without the backing of a large corporate machine, Brown has built a brand that is already turning heads among influential women, celebrities, and style insiders.
