About

Hello! My name is Jade Anaya, and fashion is one of my biggest passions. I’m a visionary artist, and I’m inspired by my past experiences and encounters that have shaped who I am today. The art and fashion that inspires me most tends to focus more on the process than the result, and I strive to emulate that through my own work as well. I value beauty in the mundane, because it proves beauty is not defined by what’s conventional or trendy.

I’ve dedicated much of my time to learning about fashion, whether it be online from fashion journalists or first hand from professionals in the industry. During the summer of 2023, I took courses at The New School Parsons in Paris and New York City, learning about the creative and business aspects of the industry. I’ve taken fashion design, where I learned about traditional design strategies. I’ve also taken fashion illustration, fashion merchandising and color theory.

This coming fall, I’ll be attending FIT to pursue a Bachelor of Arts in Fashion Design at the Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT) in New York City, continuing to learn from industry professionals through a rigorous curriculum. I’m determined to make a lasting impact on the industry, and I hope my future contributions to the fashion design industry will impact others the same way designers have impacted me.
