Interior Fashion Label Shuts Its Doors After Brief Success
The New York City-based brand, Interior, has announced its immediate closure just three years after its inception. Founded in 2021 by designers Jack Miner and Lily Miesmer, the label appeared to be on a promising trajectory until it fell victim to economic challenges.
Early Promise and Recognition
In the fashion arena, Interior had garnered significant attention and accolades, including a nomination for the 2024 Fashion Trust US this past April. The brand’s visibility peaked during the Fall 2024 showcase at New York Fashion Week in February, receiving extensive media coverage.
A Heartfelt Farewell from Jack Miner
In a poignant statement shared with Fashionista, Miner expressed deep affection for his role in the brand’s journey: “Leading this business has been one of my life’s greatest joys and represents my proudest professional milestone thus far.” He highlighted that while he is immensely proud of what his team achieved within three short years, they thrive on a network of distribution partners, media exposure, celebrity endorsements, and dedicated clientele. His gratitude toward all those who supported Interior was evident in his words: “Thank you from the bottom of my heart.”
Challenging Times Despite Success
Difficult circumstances arose despite favorable sales metrics; according to Vogue, which broke this story first, Interior managed to generate $2 million in total revenue over 2023 alone. The Fall 2024 market saw an impressive $700,000 closed by Interior—a solid return for an emerging independent label. However, forecasts pointed towards stagnation or decline year-over-year for their pre-spring collection due to ongoing supply chain disruptions that caused order fulfillment delays.

A Thoughtful Reflection on Support Received
Miner commented on feeling fortunate regarding the level of support garnered throughout their journey: “We received every bit of backing we could have wished for,” reflecting upon leaving without being trapped into a rushed decision.
The End of Operations and Remaining Stock Options
The closure is effective immediately; while their e-commerce platform remains operational online currently devoid of products listed for purchase—items can still be found at third-party retailers like Saks Fifth Avenue and Nordstrom . .
