When Emily Li Mandri '09 found herself contemplating life after Hopkins during January of her senior year, she considered going to graduate school for art history or possibly getting an entry-level job in the arts.

Emily Li Mandri officially launched her designer label, Natty Paint, in May 2009. She quickly gained a cult following in Baltimore, where the company is based. Local indie musicians began sporting her silk-screened T-shirts in performances, and celebrities such as Lucy Liu have purchased the clothing in New York boutiques.
For Li Mandri, success has been sweet, but it hasn't been accidental. Through a combination of ingenious marketing and guerilla product placement, Natty Paint has gone from the kitchen table to the main stage at some of the most prominent music venues in the country.
