Born in Ohio, Nanette produced her first couture look at the tender age of nine. Her family encouraged her creative and entrepreneurial talents which lead her to New York City’s highly revered Fashion Institute of Technology. In 1992, Nanette launched her fashion brand in the Garment District, the birth place of American fashion.
Nanette is an advocate for “Save the Garment Center” which raises awareness about the financial dangers that the Garment District is facing today as neighborhoods fade away and businesses are forced overseas. Nanette’s entire runway collections are designed and sewn in the legendary Garment District which gives new meaning to “Made in the USA”.
“The factories and suppliers in the NYC Garment Center enabled me to start a business on a small scale and grow into a 150 person company. We would have to completely reinvent the way we do business if the Garment District didn’t exist.”
As Nanette’s fashion business continues to grow so does Nanette herself which is reflected in her latest designs. Her creative spirit is fueled by people, travels and her love of life which makes it the perfect time to unveil her latest fragrance.
