Yvette, born into a family of entrepreneurs, was destined to become the founder and designer of her eponymous clothing and jewelry brand, Yvette Mandell. At a young age, Yvette was introduced to the world of fashion and buying trends; her mother owned a clothing boutique and her father was a major department store buyer. Yvette was fortunate to attend buying trips with both parents who genuinely sought her opinions.

With her expertise in style and fashion, Yvette knows how to make a statement and create the full fashion package.

Yvette attended the University of Southern California, majoring in Business Finance after studying engineering for her first 2 years. Upon graduating USC, she worked briefly as an analyst before her entrepreneurial spirit took over and she launched her first jewelry company.

After many years as a jewelry entrepreneur, her passion for clothing prevailed and Yvette created her clothing brand, Yvette Mandell in 2001. The initial collection included tanks, tees and pants, which were screen printed, embroidered and embellished with her signature designs. Her dream was to capture the essence of beauty and create comfortable apparel with attention to detail. In 2006 she launched her children’s line mirroring her adult collection.

Soon after her startup launched, Yvette’s designs were in demand worldwide with a strong presence in the contemporary market. Bloomingdales, Nordstrom, Neiman Marcus, Harrod’s, Galleries Lafayette in Paris, Fred Segal, Kitson and Disney are just a few of the hundreds of stores that Yvette Mandell has been sold. Celebrities have continued to flock to her brand with notable celebrity sightings including when Carrie Underwood wore her designs during the American Idol finale.

Voted as one of the top 20 business entrepreneurs in Orange County, Yvette loves to give back to her community and continues to mentor and speak at universities and fashion design schools.

In 2014, Yvette launched another startup jewelry business with the intent to offer beautiful on trend pieces with prices that won’t break her customer’s budget.

Today she continues to design her clothing with the same idea of creating sophisticated pieces combining her love for all things feminine, boho and rock and roll, making women feel fabulous! Yvette designs each piece with the combination of comfort and style without sacrificing the fashion element that her customer loves.

Because of her passion for all things fashion, Yvette began style consulting after many years of women asking for her input on how to reinvent their wardrobe. With her expertise in style and fashion, Yvette knows how to pair her jewelry pieces and clothing designs in order to make a statement and is able to help create the full fashion package. To enhance this area of expertise she posts daily style selfies and pictures on her Instagram account and runs a blog on her lifestyle brand.

Yvette is also a wife to Larry and mother to her two sons, Alec and Ari, so she knows the importance of looking beautiful without compromising comfort.
