Say Hello to Our First-Ever Designer Guest:
Emily Li Mandri of NATTY PAINT!
About The Designer
Emily is an Art History
major who graduated
from the NYU Stern School of Business and a
self-taught
print-maker and silkscreener. Her
fashion career began soon after she
graduated
undergrad, when she decided to
start silkscreening her original designs onto
T-shirts
and selling them at local festivals
and fairs to make a little extra money out
of college. She has since become a
well-respected designer in Baltimore, where
she has won Best of Baltimore Designer and
been featured on the cover of City
Paper. She
has recently made the move to New York City
where she continues to
develop her company.
She is currently the CEO and creative genius
behind Natty
Paint, where she continues to
make her
original prints as well as own
clothing designs.
About Natty Paint
The name “Natty Paint” is a
nod to the
company’s Baltimore origins. “Natty” comes
from an abbreviation of a
popular beer in
Baltimore known as “National Bohemian” or
“Natty Boh," which
also happens to mean
"fashionable." And the word “Paint" is an
homage
to the company's creative origins -
Emily used paint to create Natty Paint's
first patterns!
Natty Paint has been around
for three years
now and is currently based in
Greenpoint,
Brooklyn, where the company continues to
thrive.
Better keep your eyes
peeled guys, this
girl’s bent on success!
