Naomi is the senior fashion and beauty editor at The Knot Worldwide, where she writes and edits content, with a particular focus on fashion and beauty. Despite being based in New York for more than a decade, this writer, editor, and creative consultant keeps one cowboy boot (she has quite the collection) firmly planted in her native Texas. Most recently, she was the senior fashion features editor at ELLE Magazine, where she also oversaw the publication's living and travel sections. She is eager to apply her fashion expertise to the bridal industry.
Experience
Despite an early foray into finance, Naomi’s path to the fashion industry was likely inevitable, no doubt influenced by the tastemakers who surrounded her growing up and whose closets she enjoyed raiding from an early age (though her great-grandmother firmly told her that the Fortuny Delphos gown was off-limits for dress-up). Beyond mere aesthetics, these individuals sparked her interest in history and the stories behind garments and other forms of art.
Education
Naomi majored in political science and Italian at The University of Texas at Austin. Her advice to anyone looking to write about fashion? Learn about everything but fashion and travel as much as possible because cultural context is key to thoroughly understanding any trend.
