"Without a magic wand, can an 8-year-old girl’s drawing and sketches of dresses be turned into actual garments?
Can someone without previous experience in the fashion industry launch her own clothing line? Can that someone debut her first collection in less than a year?
Yes, yes, and yes. Ann Marie Louie is the founder and CEO of a new girls clothing line based in Seattle — Ana Louie...."
Take a peek at the Ana LouieFall/Holiday 2011 collections. Creative director/CEO Ann Marie Louie, who will be exhibiting the lines, as well as Spring 2011, at the ENK Children's Club (7/31-8/2, Booth #3246), says her clothing is for "classy and fabulous" girls sizes 7 to 14. Holiday wear includes these three sumptuous, modern-yet-nostalgic dresses. "Our mature silhouettes are inspired by Parisian styles of the 1950s with ruffles, bows and sashes. These beautiful clothes add pops of textural color." Elegant separates, such as this playful faux fur jacket, define the Fall/Holiday 2011 collection. (Perfect for immediates!) Doesn't it make you hungry for her Spring 2012 collection. (Wholesale prices $33.80-$106.30.) To order, call 206-229-3892, or visit analouieapparel.com.
