Biography
At the age of 3 Naomi became entranced with silver threaded stockings of her grandmothers, her mothers long lasting lingerie from London and exquisite pink and black striped corsets of her sisters, as Naomi looks back she realises that her interest in these began her career into designing intimate foundation wear.
This love of glamour and clothes was continued on in her early university years where Naomi was awarded a scholarship at the age of 15 to attend Australia's first private university Bond University studying IT. Naomi and her mother teamed up to make Naomi's designs. A number of her friends coveted her limited edition pieces and wore them literally till they could no longer be worn.
Naomi started Harlette Limited in 2005 after completing her MBA, and whilst working nights in Investment Banks, Naomi travelled the UK and Europe sourcing fabrics and researched what the market was missing. Naomi then worked for a london based luxury lingerie label, a luxury Department Store and Louis Vuitton to understand the customer and the quality.
Naomi was fortunate to meet David Jones from David Jones Luxury Fashion Consulting at the Kensington Chamber of Commerce and has been mentored by him since 2005. Naomi is a member of the Portobello Business Centre and a trained fitter of lingerie. Naomi also conducts training in the art of selling lingerie, and most recently has been invited to present a week long event on lingerie in Saudi Arabia.
