Odette Williams is an Australian expat, a baking fanatic, and the author of Simple Cake, which was named one of the best cookbooks of the year by the New York Times. After becoming a mother, Odette realized that she couldn’t find any keepsake apron sets for her young children to wear when they baked together, so she made some herself. Friends started asking about aprons for their own children, giving Odette the idea to launch her eponymous brand. Odette Williams products can now be found at such leading retailers as J.Crew, Anthropologie, ABC Carpet, Le Bon Marché, and Barneys. Odette’s work and writing have been featured in the Wall Street Journal, Rachael Ray, Vogue, Real Simple, Saveur, and more.
