SPECIALIZATION
WOMEN
Founded by designer Kathy Kemp in 1995, ANNA is a New York City fashion brand born out of the creative spirit of the East Village. Kemp, who named the brand after the grandmother who taught her to sew, built the label on a foundation of innovative design, high-quality fabrics, and a commitment to local manufacturing. For nearly three decades, the brand's boutique was a cherished secret in the East Village, cultivating a loyal following of women who appreciated its unique and comfortable clothing. In late 2023, ANNA relocated its combined studio and store to the Garment District, bringing its design and production processes closer to its customers.
