In 2000, Charlotte Ronson launched her first collection, C. Ronson, gaining the instant recognition of renowned publications. In 2005, Aaron Nir joined as president, re-naming the brand "Charlotte Ronson." As partners, Ronson and Nir established Charlotte Ronson International in 2009 and have since created a powerful brand with widespread recognition. In early 2010, the company signed an exclusive distribution deal for Japan with The Wall Co. Ltd., and six months later began a multi-year deal with Hong-Kong based MH Concepts to open stores throughout China, Hong Kong, and Macau.

The brand's success has lead to design deals with some of America's largest retailers, catapulting Ronson into the spotlight. In 2008, Ronson designed Play by C. Ronson, a diffusion line exclusive to Urban Outfitters. In 2009, Ronson and JCPenney signed a long-term deal launching a full contemporary collection, I [Heart] Ronson, hitting Penney's website, catalogue, and 600 stores. In May 2011, Ronson designed a limited-edition capsule collection for Uniqlo's Designer's Invitation Project, sold at over 850 retail locations worldwide. In September 2011, Ronson launched Charlotte Ronson Beauty sold exclusively in all Sephora doors and through Sephora.com. 

With her namesake collection garnering rave reviews across the board in the US and abroad, as well as her multifaceted business ventures in Asia and successful brand collaborations, Ronson was most recently inducted as a member of the CDFA in August 2011, solidifying herself as a a leading young designer and a driving force in American fashion.
