Listen "E82: Comfortable Yet Polished: Kiya Tomlin Sews Her Own Path in Women's Fashion"
Episode Synopsis
What makes Kiya Tomlin with Kiya Tomlin a good neighbor? Necessity truly is the mother of invention. When Kiya Tomlin couldn't find clothes that fit her small frame as a child, she picked up a needle and thread and began creating her own. Little did she know this skill would evolve into a revolutionary fashion brand bridging the gap between comfort and style.During our captivating conversation, Kiya shares her remarkable journey from sewing her own wardrobe by middle school to designing sorority dresses in college, all before realizing fashion design could be her career. Her turning point came while working as a custom designer for middle-aged women, where she discovered her true passion: creating transformative clothing that solved problems and addressed insecurities. This revelation led to the Kiya Tomlin Ready-to-Wear brand, designed specifically for women aged 30-65 who are often overlooked by the fashion industry.What makes Tomlin's designs truly unique is her signature bamboo-cotton-spandex blend that she describes as "buttery soft, breathable, and stretchy." By intentionally avoiding hardware like buttons and zippers, her clothing relies solely on the natural stretch of the fabric, creating supremely comfortable yet polished garments. Kiya thoughtfully challenges common misconceptions about fashion quality, reminding us that excellence isn't determined by country of origin but by craftsmanship and materials.Whether you're interested in fashion innovation, entrepreneurial journeys, or simply want to discover clothing that combines comfort with style, Kiya's story will inspire you.
