"We came from nothing, armed with nothing but grit, ambition and a wild belief that we could make it in our dream city," Nader told WWD via email. "Now we're here, chasing the kind of over-the-top, pinch-me dreams that feel impossible — until you realize they're not," she said.
"Love Thy Nader" stars Mary Holland Nader, Grace Ann Nader, Brooks Nader and Sarah Jane Nader.
The show is the next big step in Nader's rising career. In the last couple of years, the model competed in "Dancing With the Stars" and starred in different campaigns, including LDMA's winter 2025 collection. She was also one of the VIP guests at Lauren Sánchez's and Jeff Bezos' wedding in June.
With the gained attention from the media, fashion evolved into a part of her branding. Nader became a red carpet fixture, wearing looks by Stella McCartney and Saint Laurent, among other luxury designers, in her public appearances.

Nader is often seen wearing darker shades — "loving Bordeaux and different shades of brown," she said — and pairing simple silhouettes with bold accessories. "Maximalism. I don't know if this is technically trending, but can we make it trend?" she asked, adding, "More is more. We only have one life, so let's live it up and wear the crazy things. Even if someone says it's too much."
The model has also had a taste of designing her own collection with her Hudson Jeans collaboration, which debuted in 2024. "It was so much fun being on the other side and designing and producing the line in collaboration with the Hudson team. I am used to being on the other side of the camera, and the creative process was so exciting. From early sketches to picking out fabrics, to my favorite muses wearing it out in the wild. I definitely want to do that again," she said.

Regarding sharing the spotlight with her sister in "Love Thy Nader," the model said the process made them "closer than ever."
"As we were filming, there was so much drama that unfolded in all of our relationships with each other and love interests, which is always challenging, but the process brought us even closer than we were before, which seemed hard to top," she said. "Of course, there were some extensions pulled and blood drawn, but that's par for the course in the Naderfam."
