About
Our story
Nina McLemore
Philosophy
Nina designs clothes for women so that when they walk in the room, everyone knows they belong at the head of the table.
Nina designs a collection of clothing to address the needs of senior professional and executive women and women who are active in their communities. It is hard to find clothes for women who want beautiful, elegant, colorful, well-made clothing that fits properly. This is coupled with a very high level of client service and styling.
The collection is made in New York of the finest natural fabrics and is designed to take a woman through all aspects of her life—day, evening, and leisure with a strong focus on travel. Sustainability is important and our clothes last for decades. Nina works with many clients herself and sees what styles, fit, colors, and fabrics are the best. She only wears her clothes.
Style
The designs are simple, modern, and timeless for a look that is chic, understated, and appropriate for business, casual, and evening.
Luxury Fabrics
Beautiful and distinctive European fabrics in natural fibers and fine Asian silks.
Color
Nina is known for color. She hand-selects the best, most vibrant and flattering colors each season.
Fit
The clothes are designed with comfort and real women in mind. With many silhouettes in jackets and pants, we fit every body type.
Travel
All fabric is wear tested for maximum comfort and durability. We design for the woman on the go. Our collection is perfect for travel.

Manufactured in couture quality factories in New York.
Shop
Available at 5 Nina McLemore stores, special trunk shows with sales consultants, the internet, and in selected better specialty stores with all sizes available to try on.
Service
The sales staff is trained by Nina herself in both fit and fabric. Our consultants are service oriented and make shopping an easy and fun experience with flexible appointments.
Philanthropy
Supporting organizations that focus on women, children, education, the arts, and health is important to the company's philosophy. The company donates approximately $250,000 each year to charity.
