In late 2015, Tamara Mellon decided to blow up her company. Now, she’s back with a vengeance. Last fall, with the backing of NEA—the VC fund that helped launch Casper, and Jet—she started all over again with a new iteration of her brand. She says she’s learned from her mistakes. This time, she’s tweaked her business model: Rather than working with retail partners, she’s building a direct-to-consumer, digital-first company. She’s also pared down her product range to focus exclusively on shoes.
