"Many people ask me how I find so many special brands. The truth is, I get the best brand referrals from other Designers! My dear friend and talented Designer/Artist Anna Sheffield introduced me to Eleven Six Founder, Catherine on Bleecker Street a few years ago. The Fashion World really can be a family. Immediately I loved the mood balance of the Eleven Six Collection….Cool-Sexy Fit+ Quality + Practical. Who wouldn’t want to be described that way?!"
