CHANTELL MOULIN NIGHSWONGER VIDA I MOULIN After years in fashion PR and marketing, Chantell Moulin Nighswonger started VIDA | MOULIN in 2016 with the intention of bringing unique, trend-forward fashion to the Valley. Influenced by online retailers, such as Revolve and Shopbop, it was important that VIDA | MOULIN had a quick and constantly changing inventory introduced monthly to customers with editorial-style photography and lookbooks. Moulin Nighswonger later would take the lessons learned as a retail shop owner, and along with her husband and family’s investment group, Moulin Group, would spend the past several years redeveloping a mid-1960s office building in North Central Phoenix. The now-open curated shopping center, named The Frederick on Missouri, houses VIDA | MOULIN along with eight other small, locally-owned businesses. www.vidamoulin.com, @chantellmoulin, @vidamoulin LAUREN GARCIA Lauren, aka “Lola,” of the blog and social media platform “What Lola Likes,” is a mom of two and passionate content creator.
