Who is Nat Note?

Are you familiar with Natalie Steen, also known as “The Nat Note?” While I’ve never met her in-person (or online), it’s clear why she’s gained a dedicated following. First off, she has impeccable sense of style and fashion expertise. Additionally, she has been featured in major fashion publications and has collaborated with many well-known fashion brands.

But I sincerely believe her collaboration with Antonio Melani for Dillard’s makes perfect sense. It’s easy to see why the collection appeals to a wide range of shoppers, from those that love modern-day silhouettes to others who select more classic, sophisticated style.

Overall, Natalie Steen’s collaboration with Antonio Melani for Dillard’s brings together the perfect combination of fashion expertise, modernity, and classic sophistication to create a collection that is both stylish and timeless.
