THE TEAM

NESLI DANISMAN

Founder

NESLI began her fashion career in 1988 as a buying assistant for Charivari after graduating with a B.A. in economics from Barnard College. Inspired by Barbara Weiser, her direct report at Charivari, Nesli obtained an A.A.S. degree in fashion design from F.I.T. in 1991, and soon after became a Men’s Knitwear Designer at Ralph Lauren. Further experience includes Director to Vice President for Design and Product Development at Ralph Lauren, Morgane le Fay, Marc by Marc Jacobs, and finally Anthropologie, where she was Design Director in charge of managing the team along with the design and product-development process.

After a six-year stint successfully running her own womenswear company called (neslihan), in 2008 she decided she wanted to branch out in the fashion world and help other brands and designers; she founded Angora Group after securing her first client Marc Jacobs, whom she helped launch the men’s tech-accessories business. From launching new categories to new businesses to managing production, Angora’s clients have included The Row, Coach, Tory Burch, Kate Spade, Trademark, Alexander Wang, Kelly Wearstler, Rebecca Minkoff, and Maryam Nassir Zadeh, among others.

NICOLE BRESSLER

Lead Project Manager

Nicole attended the School of Visual Arts for Photography and obtained a degree in Art History and Computer Information Systems from Baruch College. After college, she dove headlong into the detail-oriented and fast-paced hospitality industry, a career move that turned out to be excellent preparation for her position at Angora Group. Since 2016 Nicole has project-managed for clients such as 1.61 Studio, Daniella Hunter Collection, Outdoor Voices (merchandise and swim programs), Who Shirt Co., and The Standard Hotel retail label. She’s now Lead Project Manager at Angora where, among myriad tasks, she spearheads sustainability research to help clients integrate more eco-friendly materials and practices into their brands.
