“I have a lot of projects in the works right now with my sisters that I’m excited about, a lot of sister campaigns and some venturing into entertainment, TV and movies,” she said. “That kind of vibe.”
Born and raised in Louisiana, the Nader sisters have been taking the internet by storm, snapped out and about in New York City where they now reside.
“We’re like a little modern-day ‘Sex in the City,’” she joked. “They actually don’t go anywhere without me, the leader of the pack.”
Nader, 27, is the eldest. She rose on the modeling scene after winning Sports Illustrated’s 2019 swim search and landed its cover last year .
Now, she’s getting ready to unveil her first apparel collaboration, teaming with Hudson Jeans. (She previously launched an interior design brand called Home by BN and has worked on jewelry as part of a partnership with Electric Picks.) The deal came after she met with Jason Rabin, chief executive officer of Centric Brands , which owns and operates Hudson.
“I got a little denim bootcamp over at the Centric Brands’ office in L.A., and it was so fascinating,” she said.

Hudson is a brand she feels connected to, she said. “We grew up riding horses, country, little Southern girls, and we always, always, always had to have a pair of Hudson jeans .…It was the thing you had to wear, because it made your butt look so freaking good. If you weren’t wearing those in high school, no one was looking at your butt,” she laughed.
The line — out in early March — will offer 17 pieces. It’s her ideal Hudson denim wardrobe; there are straight-leg high-rise jeans and low-rise baggy options. The skirts are micro-mini while the shorts are long, with a boyfriend and Bermuda cut. There’s also ready-to-wear, from cotton T-shirts to a leather jacket.

The silhouettes have ’90s cuts; her inspiration, as she collaborated with Hudson, has been the “model off-duty” look, she said, with her mood board filled with runways and paparazzi shots of Kate Moss, Linda Evangelista, Cindy Crawford and Christy Turlington from the era.
Nader tried on every look during the process, she said.
“I am a micromanager of sorts and a perfectionist,” she went on. “And there was the option to do things virtually, or ship samples or fabrics back and forth to New York and L.A., but I was in L.A. a lot. I wanted to feel every single fabric. I wanted to try on every prototype….I really wanted it to be perfect, and everyone to feel sexy in it. So, I needed to feel sexy and amazing and chic and effortless.”
