History

Ramy Brook Sharp started the eponymous brand in 2010 when she struggled to find the perfect date-night top to wear with jeans. She was looking for something sexy and versatile at a contemporary price point. After noticing a gap in the industry, she decided to start her own brand. Within six months of starting Ramy Brook, Sharp’s designs were picked up at Bergdorf Goodman. (https://www.makingmanhattan.com/blog/fashion/interview-fashion-designer-ramy-brook).

Soon thereafter, Sharp’s designs were sold at other top major department stores, including Saks Fifth Avenue, Neiman Marcus, Bloomingdale’s, and later, Nordstrom.
