Charlotte Ronson

Charlotte Ronson is a young, American fashion designer whose success lies in her creative collaborations with friends and family, as well as her unique sense of style. Born in London and raised in New York, Ronson has been able to draw inspiration from her travels throughout these countries. Ronson was born into a wealthy family and her siblings are familiar faces in the Hollywood scene, being deejays at elite night clubs. With her keen fashion sense, friends and family began asking Ronson to make them items, such as handbags and accessories. With celebs Lindsay Lohan and Lily Allen toting around Ronson’s creations, it was not long before Ronson became a name that was synonymous with cute, trendy fashion.

In 2000, Ronson launched her first clothing line, C. Ronson, and opened up her first boutique a couple years later, located in the affluent New York City. It was not until 2005 that she paired up with Aaron Nir, who is now president, and the duo renamed the collection Charlotte Ronson. With Nir’s business sense and Ronson’s unique sense of style, the two have done an excellent job marketing the clothing line and have made exclusive lines for large retail chains. Play by C. Ronson is sold at Urban Outfitters stores, while I [Heart] Ronson is JC Penney’s fashionable sportswear line. Ronson also launched a swimwear collection in 2009 called Shoshanna Made With Love Charlotte Ronson.

Not only is Ronson a huge success in the United States, but one can find her boutiques and clothes being sold throughout Japan. Her collections are young, playful and cute, with inspirations coming from Ronson’s two sisters. The Charlotte Ronson collection has a vintage-feel, and it is not uncommon to find Ronson adding her own hippie or Bohemian flair.
