ANNA CORTESE

If we have not yet met, welcome to my portfolio. I’m excited to share, with you, a little bit about myself. I grew up with the dream of becoming a famous fashion designer. I may not have become famous but I worked hard to become successful in every position I held while working in fashion and continue to maintain strong connections in the industry. I have accumulated experience from all corners of this career and carry every skill set learned, to this day. After graduating from Marist College, I began designing at a small bridal boutique in Upstate NY and relocated to design Women's Swimwear in Columbus, Ohio, then moved to New York City to take on Luxury Ready-To-Wear. Here, I took in the glamour at NYFW, found my way to a wholesale company that specializes in Denim and Wovens, and moved on to Knitwear, where I took the plunge into Activewear and journeyed from Womenswear to Boys' apparel. I left a part of my heart in fashion but I believe there is more out there for me to explore. I have chosen to switch directions and I’m excited to develop into the person I’m meant to become. I have been shaped by the people whose paths have crossed mine. In fact, many have stayed along for the journey and I’m grateful for those who cheer me on and whom I can celebrate and support in return. I’m proud to embrace who I am and whom I am becoming. My journey has now led me down a new path, though still designing on the side. I am currently working in Audience Development, working on large-scale events. I’m looking forward to the future and hope we can connect soon. Feel free to contact me here.
