Every so often, a new brand comes around that charms a particular yet influential pocket of the industry.
Such was the case withInterior, launched in 2021 by Jack Miner and Lily Miesmer.
Today, though, Miner announced that Interior will be stopping all operations effective immediately.

I did everything I could to fight against this, said Miner over the phone on Friday.

Miner felt hopeful coming off a productive fall market.
Distribution was growing, and the brand had picked up a few new accounts for fall 2024.
Miners goal seemed completely attainable.
Fall 2024 is the brand’s final collection.
It just speaks to the volatility of the industry and how quickly things can change, he said.
We had just developed a beautiful pre-spring collection that will now never see the light of day.
There was not much left for Miner to do.

That was myoh, shitmoment, said Miner.
His partners were planning him flat when he needed a 20% growth to reach his goal.
Did Miner feel like he had not gotten enough support?
This was Interior’s runway debut, and its only runway show to date.
We got as much as a brand like ours could have hoped to have gotten, he added.
No one owed us anything, if anythingweowed everyone everything.

I did not feel as backed into a corner as I could have felt.
Miner has occupied many roles in the industry; as he put it, this wasnt his first rodeo.
For now, he said, his primary focus is to dedicate himself to his budding family.
Im ready for my foremost identity to be dad.
