She began her professional career as a model, working  internationally with top brands and couture houses, an experience that allowed her to develop an interest in both the creative and business sides of fashion. Always honoring her creative spirit, Nicole studied jewelry making and went on to spend time working with various jewelers in New York City. After honing her design and technical skills, she launched her first brand, Trunfio Universe. </p><p>In 2016, ERTH Jewelry was born—fine jewelry that's expertly designed and crafted for everyday wear. The customer is of the utmost importance, and ERTH allows for one to develop personalization and curation of their own distinct style and look. In addition, sustainability is a key tenet of the brand; all of the gold used is recycled, the stones are ethically sourced or repurposed, and packaging is optional.</p><p>In addition, Nicole has built Bumpsuit, a chic alternative to maternity wear which she launched just after the birth of her third child. Starting as a base layer providing comfort and function, the brand has grown to include shapewear for maternity and postpartum support as well as dresses and separates.</p><p><b><i>Follow <a href="https://www.instagram.com/nictrunfio/">Nicole</a>, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/bumpsuit/">Bumpsuit</a>, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/cheftrunfio/">Chef Trunfio</a>,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.instagram.com/erthjewelry/">ERTH Jewelry</a>, and <a href="https://www.instagram.com/erthswim/">ERTH Swim</a> on Instagram for more.</i></b></p></div></div>

Manufacturing in the world’s best factories outside of Milan, Italy, Sarah Flint sells its  shoes direct-to-consumer, offering customers the best possible price-to-value ratio in  the market. </p><p>Prior to launching her collection, Sarah dedicated over seven years to the research  and study of shoe design and manufacturing. Studying at Parsons, and the Fashion  Institute of Technology, Sarah graduated with a degree in Accessories Design. After  FIT, Sarah moved to Milan to obtain a graduate degree at Ars Sutoria, where she  learned pattern making and mastered the technical aspects of shoe production. </p><p>Sarah has gained significant recognition in the industry. In 2016, she was appointed  to the CFDA, the association of America’s most prominent designers, after having  been sponsored by Michael Kors and Zac Posen. Her press coverage includes  Forbes “30 Under 30” and a 2016 feature in WWD, “Ten of Tomorrow,” which  showcased the best new talent in the fashion industry, as well as regular coverage in  Vogue, People, InStyle, Town &amp; Country and NY Times. The brand has gained a loyal  following of the most influential celebrities and international style bloggers in the  world, including Meghan Markle, Amal Clooney, Lady Gaga, Cindy Crawford, and  Blake Lively to name just a few.&nbsp;</p><p><i><b>For more on Sarah Flint, follow&nbsp;<a href="https://www.instagram.com/sarahflint_nyc/">@sarahflint_nyc</a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href="https://www.instagram.com/xosarahflint/">@xosarahflint</a>&nbsp;on Instagram.</b></i></p></div></div>
