Her designs are practical for everyday life, whether for toddlers, women moving between meetings and school events, or anyone chasing their dreams.
“Thank you for being on this journey with us and supporting a brand that believes women should feel strong, seen, and unstoppable in what they wear,” Tomlin wrote in an Instagram post announcing the win. “This recognition is a reflection of you!”

This moment is special for several reasons. It is a professional victory for Tomlin, following her partnership with Macy’s and her upcoming appearance in the Fashion Show at the 2025 Pro Football Hall of Fame Enshrinement Festival.
More importantly, it is a win for the Pittsburgh community. The award is a tribute to the women who have supported Tomlin from the start and who continue to visit her boutique to find clothing that helps them feel more like themselves.
As Mike Tomlin prepares for his 18th season leading the Steelers, his wife is emerging as a powerful force in Pittsburgh fashion. Tomlin’s approach to style is simple: clothing should be with you for every phase and season of life.
Her supporters have noticed, wearing her creations to late-night errands, weddings, soccer games, and job interviews. Her designs are now part of significant moments in daily life, and the community has embraced her in typical Pittsburgh fashion.
Tomlin is not just the coach’s wife, but also a designer who has earned the community’s respect. She’s is not just dressing Pittsburgh’s women, but empowering them. If this latest recognition is any sign, her journey is just getting started.
