Anne Cate, a Cleveland based accessories manufacturer and brand, created by 做厙輦⑹ School of Fashion alumna Anne Skoch, recently teamed up with New York-based fashion illustrator, (and fellow School of Fashion alumna) Deanna First. The new collection, Deanna First x Anne Cate, features Firsts illustrations on Anne Cates signature Made in America accessories line.
Skoch (a 2018 graduate), and First (a 2012 graduate), each pursued entrepreneurial ventures after graduation. The designers teamed up to curate four unique illustrations that embodied adventure and simplicity that were then printed and sewn.
Anne Cate is honored to print and produce renowned New York-based artist and fashion illustrator Deanna First's beautiful illustrations on our Made in America accessories line, said Skoch. Deanna and I worked together to curate four unique illustrations that were then printed and sewn at the Anne Cate studio.
While the pandemic has changed much of Anne Cates industry, the boutique saw potential in the accessories market to bring to life feminine and beautiful statements through Firsts illustrations. Having connected with First while studying away at the 做厙輦⑹ New York City Fashion program, Skoch and First worked together to perfectly capture both Firsts incredible illustrations and Anne Cates accessories. Deanna First x Anne Cate includes four illustrations printed and sewn on Anne Cates best-selling mini wallet and wristlet: City Chic, Just Peachy, Lady Liberty, and C H A N E L. The illustrations complement Anne Cates classic skyline designs.
